Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, Screaming "WHOO HOO What A Ride"

Newton County, Mississippi, 14 Years old. Old Buck with polished knots almost half dollar dismeter and not over 1/2 inch tall. Shot was less than 10 yards with a Revolation 30-30 with Winchester 150gr Silvertips.
That is still the oldest buck I have killed, do not know age but teeth were warn down to gums and a couple were missing.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

1977 erath county spike --18 years old It was basically my first deer hunt ever. I bought my rifle that year and I could barely afford it and a scope since I had just graduated high school and was living in a trailer with a friend. I was hunting by myself and had no knife. I was already working in the grocey business stocking groceries at night and had several box cutters in my car and decide to try using them. I worked my way through it all by myself not knowing what I was doing at all. I still use that same rifle today(remington 270 adl) even though I have newer more expensive ones.

Anderson County 1997 9 point Remington 700 ADL 270win 11 yards
I was always a small game hunter untill someone broke into our house and stole my guns. With the insurance money I decided to buy my first deer rifle and it was the best thing I ever did.

Burnet County I believe at Balcones Canyonlands, 10 YO shot with Grandfathers m70 1961 .270 with corlocks. I had missed a buck earlier and we were hunting with my Dad, Pastor, and his son. After I missed, a doe was piddling around and Larrys son Josh shot it. Not 5 minutes later a doe snuck up about 20 yards in front of our blind and I shot her in the neck. Biggest hole I have ever seen on a deer.!
