Very cool to get him where it all started. The place I shot my first is now a subdivision.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Good deal Bob !
Always enjoy seeing you kill game with the classic guns you hunt with.
I’ve been thinking about getting the all original 30/40 Kraig Carbine I gave to Dad years ago out of the safe and shooting some hogs with it.
Little brother still enjoys shooting hogs with Granddad’s ole sporterized .303 Enfield.

We both had productive mornings yesterday. You killed a nice buck with a super looking rifle in a place that holds great meaning to you and I worked 3 hours at my PT job. Did you put those twigs on it like they do in Europe? I understand the feeling behind that the older I get.

And taught grandson this morning why we do that.

My favorite rifle is my BSA P17 in .30-06, I hated the Weaver Scope on it so I swapped it out for a newer scope.

Great buck for sure Woodie, I have a little spot on a county road in Blanco county that I’ve found a few echinoid fossils on.
