A bud was all about 280 and 25-06 so because of him I had an open mind to the cartridge.
Was not joking in that I thought maybe if 280 sucked, ream to mag.
Knew it was an oldie and worth more than tag.
Might be more collectible than thought LOL

Bud hunts a diff county, see how many doe tags avail.
Like to sit on field edge and whop one out in the field.

Passed on a small 8 pt right under my tree on other side, yrs ago........had pops '66 minty .44 mag sporter.
Have not shot a deer off that farm yet.
Skipped it last few yrs, as I buck out close to home.

Not enough does at my spot though.
