My first deer rifle was a 30 30 Marlin. I killed several mule deer with it in the Arizona desert in the 1960’s. I was in the USAF. I decided that to hunt mountainous area, I really need a bolt action. I traded the Marlin for a WW2 Eddystone 30-06. I butchered and scoped it. When I got out, I headed back to Texas. Then I saw a pre 64 Win 30 30 in a hock shop and bought it for brush hunting.

I still have and use both depending on how close I’m hunting. I hand load and have my own range that I seldom use.

Of course, over time, I’ve needed to add a 222 for wife and grand kids.Then a 243 for deer after shoulder surgery. Then more calibers of various kinds. And then those necessitated their own pile of handloading stuff. Then there are the hand guns that followed me home.

If I find/want/need any more shooters I’ll have to get a bigger safe. That’s a stopper.

In ‘81 what cars were fast? The smog and emissions add ons were choking down any HP.

Merry Christmas

Paid workout! Sounds like a good kid.

Congrats!

Do they taste like chicken?

"Longtime Houston resident Carl White told KHOU 11 that dog, Moose, started barking to alert him to one of the wild animals, which have been terrorizing the area, even killing pets."

Sounds as if some Bud Light might be involved.

May today be celebrated for what it is intended to be.

We call that crowning.

Thank you for sharing the picture. From what I can tell you are piling brush on top of each other and using it as sort of a ground blind?

The mud and not much flat areas in those pictures. Tracks and lower center of gravity should help on the hills.

If you do the Camino Real there is scenic overlook down to the river right before you get into Terligua (there is placards showing history of indigenous people), and it is great view! Walk back to east side of the rocks and look on southern exposure and you may be able to make out the word DOM. It was etched into the rock making the movie Fandango with Kevin Costner Years back. If youre into Geocaching you can take dirt road drive upthat was one of them. River was low just over month ago and you could walk across many places and they were posted with warnings. If you go to Presidio there not much other than Ft Leaton and only couple motels on this side of the river, crossing you have more options for food and rooms if thats what you want to do. If you want exciting drive and your in the truck take the farm market road south from Marfa down to Ruidosa. 30 miles paved then dirt road with private land on both sides, dirt section is just over 20 miles and can take about 45 minutes to and hour to drive, Pinto Canyon Ranch road. After leaving Presidio you can dirt road it up to Big Bend Ranch park head quarters and maybe Casa Piedras way. I like that country but not dead of summer!

My faith is in you Jesus, thank you so much for Christmas day.
