First Deer = Neighbor boys and I were hunting snowshoe rabbits. One of the boys kicked out a yearling doe that ran about 20 yards from me and turned facing me. Now what's a boy to do? My new Mossberg .22LR wabbled the sights onto that white spot under her chin. * I was 11 or 12 yr old, so that was 1949 or 1950. When I brought that little doe home Dad used words I hadn't heard him use before. I survived his wrath and eventually got my 22 back. Still have it.

First Deer Rifle = 1955 new Winchester Model 64 in 32 Special.

Latest Deer Rifle = Kimber Hunter 6.5 CM


BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
