An ADDENDUM
I'm being honest and sincere:
Since 1974 -- the last year I hunted a 30-30 -- I've hunted in 4 States, several counties in Ark, and have been a member of THREE large deer leases.
I have known ONLY 1 man to carry a 30-30 - WHEN - he drove dogs thru timber/thickets to jump deer. His stand rifle was a 7 RM.
I knew a young man who's first rifle was a 30-30..
That's all..
