Bittersweet Antelope success in Wyoming.

Yep...thats all I shoot in them.

Lots of original Winchester around, BUT they are really too valuable to shoot a lot. Ones in good condition bring over 3 grand. Hell the 94 your shooting is worth at least $1500, maybe more.

I was just looking at an original 1873 at cabelas for $3200. It was in decent shape but nothing special. I paid $1200 for my 1894 in 2004. I have seen them priced at $1500 or more that were not near as nice as mine is.

That was a Great story thank you so much for sharing. Definitely very cool to do it with an older gun like that and a great sense of accomplishment. Sorry to hear about that rancher he seemed like he would be a cool guy to sit down with and talk for hours about all the stories he had.

Great story and experience. Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear about your friend. Some of those old ranchers leave a big hole in the world when they pass on, he will be missed.

I have to say, What a WONDERFUL STORY ! You will have those memories for the rest of your life.
After its all said and done, and we can't run over hill and dale and the guns are in the safe We can atleast look back on the special times in our lives and the people we shared them with. Thank you for sharing this story with all of us.,

What an awesome story! I have a feeling that you touched that rancher's year with heartfelt memories just as he left those same impressions in yours. Sometimes by just being a kind and genuine person and treating people with respect, both get more out of it than they could ever imagine!!
