Congrats, Harry! This has been an awesome story to watch unfold. One of the best things about the Campfire...

Way cool! Makes my heart happy to see the rifle used for a big deer by a good guy, in a manner in which Bob was a proponent.

I think Bob would approve of the shot. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4578/25031821598_faa7888eb8_b.jpg) Indeed he would! Next year, I'd like to see you shoot a small one and win the dink contest! I happen to know that IngweJudge is a softie, and he might accept a lower bribe than is his custom because he'd like the 24hour "Bob" rifle to win! John

I sincerely hope that you are NOT serious !!
Bob was known as a 'Maven' for big antlers. I can't imagine he'd be honored to win a
'dink' contest.
May wiser heads prevail.

Jwall,
Don't fret, I have no desire to win the dink contest with Bob's or any of my rifles. Fun event and I find no fault with those who want to participate. I even posted a dink I had shot years ago when it all started, however letting them grow to at least representative size is more interesting on this end.
I'm sure it was all meant in fun with no disrespect towards Bob. He probably would have laughed while he thought "Not for me."
