My grandfather, born in CO in 1908, killed a couple of truck loads of elk with an open sight Win Model 1895 in 30-40 Krag. He also killed a huge number of deer with the same rifle as well as a couple of black bear. If he was within 200 yards of a critter and wanted to take it home that critter was living on borrowed time.

You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
