Nice buck and great shooting! Huge congrats to the young hunter and thanks for getting him out there!

Can't wait to see your pix. I'm a huge fan of the Mannlicher style stock. I've got a 10/22 in stainless with what they called the "International" stock. I'm sure I'm just picky, but I've always liked a gun with a little style. Never owned a Ruger #1, but it's on my short list for just that reason. Almost bought a Remington 1187 with a straight (English) stock almost 30 years ago. Wish I had, but I was a kid with future plans and every dime accounted for. Looked like this one...

Gotta say, between my sons and I, lots of elk, deer, etc. Haven't eaten a heart but next time I'll try it. Liver - no way. I know mine alone would kill half of Cambodia.

I have no idea whether this guy had guns modified to full auto. I don't know anything about some of these bump-stock things, but I did see this posted and it actually does make a semi fire like full auto. https://youtu.be/dvLt8-Wf7r0

No way to know yet for sure what happened other than a lunatic with a death wish killing dozens of people for no apparent reason. My heart and prayers go out to the families who lost mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters...and that's just immediate family. Let's all just pray for those lost and the unbearable pain their families are going through.

Happy Birthday!

Someone else makes $$ off of your work, even if you are compensated an agreed amount = slave. We are all slaves, lol.

What a tease - I'm referring to the midget. Can't wait to see the bull pix.

Hopefully he'll have pix of the jerk. Sorry to hear about your camera. Thieves suck.

They may as well put their cheerleaders out on the field - and this coming from a UofA grad. At least I'm not asking "would you like fries with that?" like most ASU alum! JK, my son's girlfriend goes there and my youngest probably will too.

If More D doesn't take it, I will. I'm in Lakeside so can pick up locally.

Wow - how are they? I hadn't heard about this until just now.

Two amazing bucks! Huge congrats to you and your wife on some outstanding deer.

Anyone have one they want to part with?

wow, i tend to be overtly hostile to bad folks but that is some serious pain. I hope he earned it.

House cat

Wow - what a monster buck. That's one heck of a first deer. Huge congrats!

Great Job, Shelvin. I can't wait for the full story - he's a beast!

Another big ++ on the Kodiak 10x14 with the big vented windows, but for 8 adults, you would need a big wall tent, probably 10x20. Unless you're using stacking cots I just don't see 8 cots plus gear in anything smaller.

Man, if I were in the market right now it would be between a Sako A7 in 6.5 creedmore and just about any .257 WBY. Don't get me wrong, I love my Savage 300 WSM, but something about those smaller bores has me gravitating toward them.

Oak creek or Haigler?

Here's an odd story but fun. I've got an old .22 that my grandfather bought as a kid. It even has an indention where he crossed many a fence with it. The fun part is, he put on ice skates to collect walnuts (Oklahoma - way back when) to earn the $5 to buy it from a hardware shop. I know how many rabbits and squirrels I killed with that gun, but can only imagine how many came during his time with it, not to mention my dad and his brothers.

Yeah, I'm not looking for any kind of piracy or subjectively inappropriate access. Since bailing on cable, the one thing I miss is getting up on Saturday morning and having a bunch of college football or baseball games to watch.

I was going to guess early Remington rimfire. That brings me to something related to old guns and rimfire. When I was a really young kid, I lived in Browning Montana. My dad used to take us to "Buffalo Jumps" to look for arrow heads, etc. I found an intact 45 caliber rim fire cartridge. Anyone have any history on 45 rim fire?
