Great buck for sure Woodie, I have a little spot on a county road in Blanco county that I’ve found a few echinoid fossils on. 👍👍👍 lots of Cretacous stuff around here! 😉

Cool Beans! Nickle was an engineer for Zeiss and started his own line of scopes that were as good as the Zeiss but less money. I've had 6-8 of them on combo guns, and they all were excellent scopes. Let's go hunting!

Let's go hunting! A hunt with you and Bob would be PRICELESS! And a lot of fun for sure! Maybe one of these days, Bruce. 🤠

Homecoming. Got him less that 100 yards from where I got my first deer 50 years ago! What rifle/cartridge did you use 50 years ago to get "the other" deer 100 yards from this one? Mom bought me for Christmas 1969 ( took me a while to connect) an ancient Oveido Mauser M1916 in 7x57 ctg. Adopted granddad took it to his brother the gunsmith and put on a Weaver K4 I got the next year for Christmas. I think the rifle was like $16.95 out of the cardboard barrel and the scope was like $29.95! I still have it. I should have used it this year and thought about it. But never got around to getting it ready. I killed several deer with it. And one of my sons has too!

Wow, what a buck Kaywoodie and with a great looking Mauser! Aren't your 1895 Winchesters a bit jealous?

Nice buck. I love the leverguns but when it comes to bolt actions the only ones I really prefer are Mauser pattern/function designs. Good thing I'm a lefty or I'd have hundreds of Mausers, M70's, and Kimbers. That's actually save me a lot of money.

I got my first deer 56 years ago. Then had a long dry spell until '79. Then I started hunting again and got one fairly regular up until 2017. Then lost my lease. That sucks.

Nice Buck kaywoodie !
That's neat you hammered him within a 100 yards of your first deer. I really Like the rifle also.

Nice.
I had an old Mauser rebarreled to 270, Douglas barrel, bolt handle shaved and swept to the rear, three-position safety, yada, yada, yada.
When all was done, it made for an extremely accurate rifle and like an idiot, I sold it.
