I had all ready promised my loaner rifle to my son's buddy for this fall, so the weaponry's gonna get a little thin. My daughter's boyfriend will carry my '06 Mauser, Ellie will carry my 20 ga. slug gun. Leaves us with my AR as a backup rifle. I never thought I'd find my self wanting more deer rifles, but times are changing. Now that Ellie's showing interest in hunting, I've got to go pick up a .243 for her. She's never gone with me before, so we'll be doing a bit of woods walking in the next few weeks to somewhat show her the ropes.

I know she's concerned she might not get another chance due to my health issues. I sure hope that's not the case, but I'm sure not going to pass up this opportunity to get her into the woods and make some memories. I get to introduce three new hunters to the shooting sports this fall. How cool is that? I'll be busier than a one legged man in an azz kicking contest this season, and I can't wait.


Let me know if you need something. I have a few that would be available if needed. I have a .44mag single shot Handi Rifle that has a low-power scope on it that is light, short easy to shoot with low recoil and knocks the hell outta deer.
