I’ll just have to see what mood I’m in. Probably an AAC Model 7 but might be a longbow.

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

Raining - .280 Rem., stainless in Ruger canoe paddle.
Fair - 7X57, possibly the #1 w/int'l stock.
The bigger question is - Do I wear shorts or not?

No clue, I have 3 months left to still figure that out and I've sometimes waited until the fouling shots the night before season starts. Sometimes a rifle just talks to me...

I have a sweet little Model Seven in 6mm Remington, and I cannot recall having killed anything at all with it unless it was a jackrabbit on one of my rare trips out west to the Rio Grande country. I do remember my last shot on a hog on my Throckmorton lease with that rifle...I didn't take my time setting up the shot and it was a bad miss. If I try for a deer this year I'd like to use that rifle.

This will be the third year and hopefully third tag filled with the .308 Cross. The Grendel has killed its share and will be relegated to backup with the night scope for pig massacres. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-3841-396159-img_2106.jpeg)

![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/08/full-53199-396162-img_6646.jpg) Season 7 for my Tikka CTR, 20", .308. I've never been more confident in a set up. I don't think it could be bought from me.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Sako 85 in .260 with ammunition developed/loaded by JG. I have never been more confident in a rifle and load combination, with my ability being the limiting factor.
God is so good to me.
