I have a first gen Browning BLR .308 (with Bushnell Banner 1.75-4.5x20 scope) that I've killed 156 whitetail bucks with. I've killed another 55 whitetail bucks, +/- a couple, with various other rifles, shotguns, and muzzleloaders. And I've killed 3 pronghorn bucks.

My best conservative guesstimate is that I've killed around 70 whitetail does.

The great majority of these were killed in Alabama, where for decades we could kill a buck per day, or a buck and a doe per day.

Of all of these 210 +/- bucks, only about 20 or so of them are what I consider wall-hangers, although every one of them represents a memorable hunt.

Bring enough gun and know how to use it.

Know that it is not the knowing, nor the talking, nor the reading man, but the doing man, that at last will be found the happiest man. - Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
