The thread about what rifle you had your kid hunt with got me thinking that the next generation (or two) are better outfitted than we were. That's a good thing.
So what did you carry on your first elk hunt? Family heirloom? hand-me-down? something spankin' new? your deer gun? loaner from a mentor?
If you can remember what bullet please identify.
Me? My only rifle at the time - Marlin .30-30 with open sights. I knew it wasn't the best but I naively thought I would be able to compensate for any range limits of the gun. I soon changed my mind about that.
I don't recall the cartridge but I'm sure it was NOT premium.
