Shot my first deer with a 7mm08. Owned a 308 for a good 8 years and then got a 7mm08 of my own. For around here in the bush and coming onto clearings it's a dag of a rifle. I'd still flip a...

I don't think Eddie Herrick carried much while Jim Muir was around either (You're still carrying 1/8" of one of my heads to this day, somewhere in your thigh)

"Jinx" is too light a word. The next time we go out I will just take the jammed up die with me, lie it on the ground and stare at it and meditate on my failures for a week. Soon as I get more...

Great yarn. I started hunting in the beginning of the 80s with a brand new Tikka LSA 55 in 308. I got my first deer with it in the Tiramea in fairly short order but man after that it was a heck of...
