I hunt middle Tennessee and North Alabama . Almost all short distances , 100 yard shots are rare where I hunt . I don't have a particular caliber or type of rifle . I use from .243 up to a 45-70 just depending on where I will hunt and what kinda mood I'm in on a given day. Might be a Kimber 7-08 , a 788 Remington carbine in .243 or a 38-40 model 92 Winchester made in 1911 . Might just strap on a handgun and leave the rifle at home. Some days it's a flint lock Kentucky or a .54 caliber TC or Lyman . All will do the job when I do my part . If I lived out west or hunted bean fields I'd be a bit more particular but I don't .Just got a 1936 model 71 Winchester the other day so that's most likely to be the Deer getter this year at least till I kill the first one.
Grumpy old man with a gun.....Do not touch . Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Don't bother my monument and I'll leave yours alone.
