About 4 years ago. 94 Winchester, approx 1913 mfg, 30 W.C.F. The rifle came from my father-in-law, who got it from a friend of his. The friend got it from his father in the late 60's, and his father got it from a retired Arizona Ranger in the early 1950's. Pretty cool story, and knowing the history makes it that much better. When I killed that buck I wrote a story about the whole thing for my father-in-law for Christmas that year. If you fellas are interested, I will post it up for you. This old rifle doesn't hold a candle to the ones posted here as far as condition, but it means a lot to me. It is living history. Heck yes, post that story. There's a healthy appetite here for deer hunting stories right now. OK then, coming up! Will post it in the Deer Hunting forum with the thread name "A Deer Story."

Killed a lot of mulies with my 30-30 Marlin despite it being a 100 yard rifle. Someone forgot to tell the deer! When my youngest daughter was 15 she went 2 for 2 on does at 225 and 240 yards. Didn't know any better. We'll be trying for east Nebraska whitetails this year. It probably will stay at her house from now on. Hope she lets me borrow it once in a while. Marty

After seeing your photo of your trump line, I sorta expected you'd be dressed in that fashion. By the way, someone steal your moccasins or did a porkypine eat em during the night?
