I had a hunting jacket just like that back in the 70's, must be an old picture. What a deer...!

Is that the buck that they have (or had) in what you use to be the Spit-Shot Charters, I think its called Screamin Reel now, out by the Balfour ferry?

That is definitely a whopper. What did he score?

Pioneer made them right up until about '96/7. I got one of the last ones before they were sold out.

ThermoKing still makes them, but they are not as good as the Pioneer ones were.

As Thunderstix mentions, Filson also makes them...not cheap, but very very good.

Cheers,

Yup ruttinbuck thats him I looked for that pic too but I gave that book to my alberta hunting partner last year and its not in the other one.
Apperently he also took a 190 typical but it was shot in the head cracking the skull so it can't be scored.
