I started hunting deer in 1995 after I'd moved to Cali. Picked up a boat paddle Ruger in 30-06 really cheap from a farm and ranch store that was closing.

10 minutes into the hunt and I spooked a heavy forked horn buck and dropped him with a 165 grain Corelock.

This was my last buck on the same ranch and also same rifle but it's now stocked in a coyote bomber Micky.
