An elk at about 10 yards…..but my closest wasn’t big game.

Many years ago when deer hunting in Louisiana, I was standing in some bushes for concealment, when I sensed something behind me. A fox was slipping up on me from behind, stunned and a little startled…..the shot was around 5 to 6 feet! A hit from a .308 Win. that close, left the hide unsalvageable! 😂 memtb


You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
