Morning SK7!

This rifle here has probably taken more deer and hogs than any other rifle I own. The late wife gave it to me as my wedding rifle in 1979. It is a Henry Leman style 1/2 stock trade rifle from Green River Rifle Works. It is deadly with 70 grains FFFG and a .490 round ball!

I decorated it up after my last OTC NM mule deer hunt up by Sheridan Peak in 1984. We took a tumble down a hillside while on horseback when a trail we were traveling on gave way. None of us any the worse for wear. 😊

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
