Too damn funny! smile Here I've been sitting in the woods for days with a gun that won't fire. I thought I was SOOOOO ready, but was rather impotent the entire time.

Only four weekends left.



ALL PRAISE THE MIGHTY BAR!!!

This was the eigth buck I saw. I passed on a small buck at 2 PM Sunday (last rifle hunting day; and my birthday), still vowing to wait for a bigger guy. At 3 PM, he trotted past me at 100 yards and I put two 150 grain Hornady Interlocks through his chest, which put him down 15 yards after the first bullet hit him. 10 points, 18-inch inside spread, 230 pounds. Not a giant, but a respectable specimen. That .270 BAR is the bomb; the best deer-killin machine around; no question! I may just sell all my bolts. smile
