Looking through my stash of stuff, I came across 4 box's of Winchester 180 gr power point round noser's and 6 box's of 150 gr spire point's.
Can't shoot kickers yet after back fusion. Asked today, after just 7 weeks out, he said no.
So I'll load some 168 gr ttsx's to go along with my partitions, and factory ammo, and be ready to test when doc says I can.
Not sure I'm going this year, but next for sure !
He and I chat several times a week, and always bring up times long ago.
Camp, has been updated to modern, but the hills around are still the same to some degree.
The old times still come back in our minds, when we were young.......
Last time I was home, we sat in the same tree stand, I with a buck tag, and an 06, and he with a doe tag, and a 44 mag pistol.
The doe was taken first when a small herd came past, shot from high up, almost straight down, through the head !
He make a great shot.
Shortly later a smallish 8 point came out of the pines.
My turn !
He was turning back to the pines, hesitated, and a 180 gr round nose caught him in the the laat rib on the right, and was found just under the skin on the front left shoulder. DRT.
Was a good morning some years ago...
Thanks for the memory rant....
