Well I took my 78 year old dad out hunting,...time well spent. He didnt get any shots but i did this mornin, and if i did it right the pics should show up
Now this could be the part where i tell yall about how my custom hand made 300 win mag, with hornaday special ordered ammo with my swarsovski (sp?) scope really paid off!!
But I will tell you the truth..... My remington 7400 .270, with Federal 130 grain blue box $12 per box, and my $20 TASCO 3x9 scope, got the job done. Now he didnt drop in his tracks,.... He was about 110 yrds out, i hit him in the shoulder, and he ran 30 yards.......... CLOSER to the truck. Leaving a blood trail that a legally blind man could follow
So I sum it up like this
1. remington 7400 .270 used.............. $300
2. box of fedral ammo....................$12
3. two days spent in the woods with my dad...... priceless
4. eight point with 13.5 inside spread in e tx....bonus
 and if anybody knows how to rotate the pics so u dont have to turn your head sideways, have at it and i would appreciate it

Great story Red...and great buck!! I am driving down from Denver tomorrow to spend 5 days at our place near Brady with my 72 year old dad. I look forward to it all year long (as does he). You are right, the time spent together is priceless. Taking a nice buck is just icing on the cake.
Thanks for the story and the pics. Hopefully, I can post something similar when I get back.

Please note the Cadillac gloves, provide by who?
No notes on the prowess of the gunsmith that set-up that rig either?
I see how its gonna be.

That's what it's all about. Doing a trip this weekend with my 63 yr old dad and 9 yr old son. Pops couldn't care less about shooting a deer but he loves spending time in the woods with his family. He used to tell me "The most important part of hunting is hunting for a good place to eat, hunting for a place to use the bathroom, and hunting for a place to sleep!". God, the nights I spent sleeping under a camper shell in the back of a pickup listening to him snore after filling up on BBQ in Llano or CFS in San Saba. Now those are memories...
