Dead by a magnum ain't deader than dead by a 243.

If you can't hit with it, don't carry it.

Scarred wood only adds character.
Only purdy rifles are intersting.
Well cared for meat tastes better.
You will always find your fallen game in the very last place you look.

A .223 and a 45 grain bullet are perfect whitetail medicine.

If there's a swamp, full of blown down trees, on the far side of a hill, that's where your (deer / moose / elk) went and died.

The big ones look big.
Get as close as you can, and then get closer.
If you have to hold over, it's too far to shoot.

Safety's aren't.
Treat every gun as if it's loaded.
Keep your finger off the trigger until the sites are on the target.

The internet makes most guns shoot better, but only if "I do my part". Whenever I hear/read "when I do my part" these come to mind. The way my hair is going, it is getting harder and harder to do my part. I've just learned to shoot with messed-up hair. Bruce

All you need is a .22, a 12 gauge and an'06.
What you want is different though.
A hunters heart is always out there.
Your Featherweight sliding into the scabbard the day you pack in makes a wonderful sound.
Rifles, knives, saws and hatchets are better hell for stout than light as a feather.

Anyone who claims the 30-06 isn't enough gun either hasn't used one - or is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship
Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master Guide, Alaska Hunter Ed Instructor FAA Master pilot www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.comAnyone who claims the 30-06 is not effective has either not used one, or else is unwittingly commenting on their marksmanship.
