Me, I'd buy a "deer rifle"..... smile. Hell, ya only got 2 rifles now, right? Yer way behind....


You killed a moose with a slug? My hero!

Gotta ask two things though:

What kind of slug?

Was using the slug part of the plan, or was Mr. Moose (sorry Kaptain!) a target of opportunity taken with your bear gun?


What fresh Hell is this?
