Thanks Blue. I was setting on the ground in a little brush stand I made leaning up against live oak. He run up and stopped about 30 yds from me at sun up. No feeder, no high fence just watching their trail

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

That old Mauser has a Nickel 4x with #1 reticle, and claw mts. It was built for someone in Germany. Postwar. As it’s a 30-06 I bet is was occupation officer. Well made. Not usual “cigarette” rifle.
Old buck. Sausage buck! 😊
