The year was 1966. The rifle was a Remington model 740 in 30-06. The deer,,,a 100 pound button buck. Long story, so I'll forego it. My buddie has an 1899A Savage in .303 Sav. It belonged to his father.He still owns it to this day, but sadly neither he nor his rifle make it to the deer woods.

Just reminicing on this day. smile frown

Don't have a picture of mine, that I know of... Was in South Central Ga. along the Ohoppee river swamps in Emanuel County. We ran dogs back then and I had a Steven single shot 20 ga. shotgun with #1 buckshot. Spike buck came bouncing out through a clear cut right towards me. I took aim and POW. The shot rocked me so I didn't see anything of the deer. Went over to where I shot and there he laid, piled up. Was a great day.

Still have the gun in the safe!

Was Nov 1978. Both of my brothers had tagged out and I was left to go at it alone. Best thing they could have done. Anyway, Win 94 in 30-30. Still kills deer after all the years. Might have to take it out again sometime.
