Another story about Askins : he gave a talk one winter at a quail plantation near Tallahassee and was bragging about the number of men he had killed - I think he claimed 32 or so - and then said their was still one more to go. He bragged that he planned on ending his own life when the time came.
I never cared much for his writing either.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
