Legends of the Hunt
SEP 24, 2010 04:48P.M. It was important to get a good supply of venison for the camps to
supplement their provisions and sustain them over the harsh winter
Legends of the Hunt months. Moose, blacktail and mule deer were the favorite choice, but in
By John Seerey-Lester desperation the hunters would bag whatever they could find.
Presented by Bernard+Associates
In the Coeur d’Alene Mountains of Idaho, a prospector by the name of
Pingree joined up with an old hunter called Purvis to get some meat for
the table. Both men were originally from New Hampshire, where they
had learned how to ski.
A heavy snow blanketed the mountains on that late-November day when

the men headed out on skis to hunt blacktails. Following tracks not far
from camp, they soon found themselves on the banks of a lake. Pingree
saw a dark shape moving in a nearby thicket and through the snow-
encrusted brush, he could just make out the form of a bull moose.
During the rut, moose can be quite aggressive and unpredictable, which
the men were well aware of. Cautiously they positioned themselves for a
shot. Purvis couldn’t get a clear line of sight so he motioned to Pingree to
take the shot. Without shifting his position, Pingree raised his rifle and
fired.
Sporting Classics Legends of the Hunt The shot only wounded the moose, which immediately lowered its head
and charged Pingree. The prospector desperately tried to maneuver
around on his skis, but it was too late and the animal was upon him.
Pingree was knocked backwards into the snow and as he struggled to get
up, the moose pounded him with his powerful front legs.
The prospector’s desperate cries echoed across the silent snowscape.

Purvis skied as fast as he could around the thicket and shot the monster
as it continued to stomp on his friend. The only effect of the bullet was to
redirect the bull’s attention on Purvis. The animal charged the
prospector, moving effortlessly through the snow. Purvis managed to

themselves an insidious special exemption from this outrageous bill.

The M-223 line of rifle scopes is designed for the AR-15, and includes 5
new scopes all engineered for the .223/5.56mm NATO round (although
with a 55gr polymer tip bullet). There is a 1-4×20 with a Point Blank
Reticle, and then a 2-8×32, and a 3-12x42SF both available with a
NikoPlex or BDC 600 reticle. The NikoPlex reticle is a standard duplex
reticle, and these scopes come equiped with a Rapid Action Turret which
allows you to dial your distance out to 600 yards. The BDC 600 reticle is
graduated for shots out to 600 yards, and both are on the second flocal
plane.

Millennium M100 HangOn Tree Stand
Nikon Hunting
We spent the day firing these as well as a number of other Nikon optics
(Monarch X for those looking for a 30mm mildot scope), and all
performed well throughout the day. Engaging targets with the ARs out to
600 yards was easy, and this included steel, paper targets, and small 1lb
containers of Tannerite. I ran various scopes through box tests,
manipulating their adjustments up and down, and various other
exercises. Using the BDC reticles made quickly engaging multiple targets
at various ranges quick and effortless. Nikon has succeeded in providing
a good quality optic with a relatively low price for hunters, recreational
shooters, and professionals alike.
Along with the various scopes, Nikon had their line of binoculars,
spotting scopes, and range finders on hand. A small, 10×42 pair of
binoculars will soon be added to my kit, and their high-end spotting Millennium M-100 Multi-System Hang-On Stand
scopes made spotting at 600 yards extremely simple. Last but not least,
their rangefinders worked reliably and consistently at all ranges tested
(once the fog lifted!), and includes the only LCD/LED viewfinder; under
bright light it uses an LCD display, but in low light it switches to an LED
display for easy reading.
All in all, a very successful day at the range, and a ton of fun. I can
honestly say that not only will I be recommending Nikon optics to
others, but I will be adding a few of them to my own collection.

related industries, outfitters, professional athletes and celebrities that Shooters
promote shooting sports, specifically those committed to helping our
active military personnel as well as our veterans.
Jeff Engel, Executive Director of the American Celebrity

Classic states, “This nationally televised shooting event will
take place on June 3 and 4, 2011 at the National Shooting
Complex in San Antonio, Texas and will be one of the most
exciting, fun and well organized shooting events in the
country with the ultimate goal being to help our military
personnel.
“We could not be more pleased with the initial interest of

NSSF, Colt and Otis Technology but it is going to take the
efforts of the entire outdoor shooting community to make this
event happen.”
The proceeds of this outstanding event will be shared by many

organizations which may include, but are not limited to Salute to
American Heroes, Operation Welcome Home, Stars & Stripes, the
Blinded Veterans Association and the USO. It is our goal to provide
funding to organizations offering support for our veterans while
preserving recreational shooting and hunting traditions.
We welcome you and invite you and your company’s participation in this
patriotic endeavor. Join professional athletes and celebrities, as well as
our military personnel — our real celebrities — at the 1st annual
American Celebrity Classic. Teams of four (4) shooters will pair with a
celebrity for two days of shooting and socializing in a fun-filled weekend.
Sponsorship packages have been mailed to over 250 companies across
the US. To learn more about the opportunities that are available, please
contact Cathy Williams at the numbers below.
This event will be your way to make a difference. Let us hear from you by
signing up for one of the sponsorship packages today. Let the troops
know that your company values the sacrifices they make for us. The
American Celebrity Classic – a Sportsmen Honoring Our Troops
(S.H.O.T.) event is a 501C3.
