Maggie’s Hunting with a Howitzer

[reeljob]

I stumbled back across this. I saw this some years back and found it to be interesting to say the least!

I've had my eyes on that build for awhile now. I know I could turn out the barrel but not so sure I could follow through with the carriage. I'm trying to convince my brother in law to build the rest of it.

I like the hunt he did with it, that's my style.

I'll have to give that a try. I've had a 100% success hunting deer using the daisy cutter but not nearly as good meat recovery. That seems like a good compromise.

That is funny. I would really like to let a deer have it with a cannon.

I'm liking the Double Bull Howitzer blind! But, it was better before Primos bought them out! Just Kidding! CKruse

I have the blue prints for the carriage. If I can locate them I'll put them on here.

Ok this guy is in my back yard and I've heard of him before? Now I'm curious, might have to look him up.

Dude I was up till 1am last night researching how to build mortars after seeing that guys sight haha The best idea I saw was one that used soda cans filled with concrete for ammo seeing as how that's inexpensive. But...it would be nice to shoot something bigger ha
Any ideas for inexpensive, large diameter ammo?

Maybe someday in the near future we will get a new section added to the Hide forum list, "Homemade Howitzers and Mortar Range Reports".

Re: Hunting with a Howitzer

How can a guy get so lucky to hit a deer 5 likely 6 times in the spine??? At least it didn't suffer

Re: Hunting with a Howitzer

Does anyone know where you can get a supressor for one of those?

Ammo Selection:
Go to the grocery store and check out all the different size soup/bean cans. The 29oz cans are a good size. I have seen Large welding tanks used as mortars firing bowling balls, that was impressive!
