The kid answered: "I only need one, but I brought two in case I made a bad shot and need a follow up."

That's a classic. smile

I can remember another true story about a guy (real genuine dipshit) on a trophy rut muzzleloader elk hunt that didn't even bring a possibles bag, so he had to stuff everything in his pockets. He lost his extra caps whilst dropping dukie in the woods... which remained undiscovered until he needed a second shot to finish a huge 7x7 bull. I'm too ashamed to tell the story of the rodeo that ensued... but it lasted nearly 8 hours and involved at least one trip all the way back to civilization and a near heart attack for the hunter. I wasn't there, I would have knocked him cold with the butt of his rifle and left him lost in the woods...


Matt,

Nice story...

The kid graduated from HS last spring, I gave him a M-700 SS Mtn rifle in .280 Rem for his graduation. He took his deer with it this year. smile (ONe shot!) (Last Nov.)

Last Monday, he left to be inducted into military service. I never had any sons... Thus he and his brother are like my God-sons... smile
