I must have been about mid-thirties. After chasing bigger, faster for 10 years I killed a NE Whitetail at 404 YDS with a .300 Weatherby Mag. You could have stuck your fist in the exit hole. Took out the far shoulder joint like it was hit with a 20MM round.
The following year I took a Marlin Guide gun in .45-70 GOVT and shot the best buck I've ever gotten. (Avatar picture.)
This year I will tote a 6.5 Swede.
By the time I'm ready to be worm food I suppose I'll be using a .22 cap.
