Well, the .270 explains a little--though as I have noted in the past, a .277 bullet is actually much closer to 7mm diameter than so-called 7mm bullets.
My big trouble isnone of my magazine (or book) editors allow the use of emoticons, so I'm somewhat emoticon-impaired.

I thought you were your book editor now... Institute changes! Wouldn't a hunting book with emoticons be just super?  Note: emoticon.

You gotta give elks a little leeway, he shoots a .270 and had a sign on the curb growing up " Slow Children Playing..."  Note; emoticon. Ingwe made a funny.  I noticed the irony,but,suffer from a mild concussion so it went way over my head.

Tom,
Eileen is my book editor. I am just a lowly "content provider," we're known in the amazing world of the Internet.
It sure would be a lot easier if my editors allowed emoticons. For an article on Cape buffalo hunting I could just type OMG!, followed by several emoticons indicating how the hunt felt.

elkhunter,
.270's will give you mild concussions. I have experienced many of them over the years.

I was just watching Bubbavision and the intrepid hunter wounded a buffalo. PH made him sit it out while he went in the thick stuff and did the wet work. I'll bet that dude is glad they got his humiliation on film....he looked like he needed a smiley face.

Some beautiful bulls here. Don't care too much about the length of the horns. I have always wanted to hunt one of the scrum cap buffalo bulls. Maybe next year!

Back in the day, before the internet, people were forced to actually write! I wonder where Elmer Keith would have gone if he had emoticons?
