Funny, that the this 06 was always the bane of my existence. Dad had piled up the animals with it in his lifetime-akin to magic in his hands.

I use it the first time and kill a deer, then precede to whiff at several deer in the following seasons. Excuse? Distance I imagine.

Dad changed hunting areas from the East side of our State where close encounters with Mule Deer were common in the 60’s and 70’s to hunting Blacktail on the Coastal West side where shots were easily 300 yards or more.

Those Blacktails were hard for me to connect with using his 06.

Thanks for the help, All...
