Very ironic - my Dad said the same thing to me 40 years ago. Maybe he heard your Dad tell you 😎

I've come to appreciate the 30-06. I used to think my Dad was nuts to hunt with one - too big for deer, not big enough for elk. I sent my latest 30-06 off today for a new stock. It will see considerable time the rest of my hunting life.........

Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
