Sale of Guns Soar Following Election

[Ghost in the Machine]

95. LOL! See my post above about the ballistics...

I wouldn't use it for deer hunting, as it lacks knock-down power with its mere 122 grain round. I use 150 grains for the 30-30, which is a GREAT "brush gun" for hunting in pine thickets and some denser hardwood stands, and 180 grain loads for longer shots with the 30-06 when hunting power lines or across open fields. I've got 15 acres of my own, which has both, hence having a choice of weapons to hunt with.

Funny story... my daughter & son in law live two houses down from me, on their own 3 acres, but are the other side of the street and have no woods. The son in laws sister & her boyfriend just came up from South Georgia for Thanksgiving. I was advised that the boyfriend would love to deer hunting while he was here, and had even brought his gun. When I met him, I said "so, I hear you want to do some hunting while you're here?" He replied "yes sir, I would LOVE to do that! This is the first time I've ever seen mountains and stuff, I'm used to the flat lands of back home." I looked at him and said "you know we hunt a little different up here, right?" He says "how's that?" I tell him "we wait up in the tree stands until a deer is right under us, then we just jump on him with a knife and pair of brass knuckles and beat the fucker down!" He got a funny look ok his face and started stammering "I..I... I just don't think I could do that!".... to which I just started laughing and told him "sure, we'll do some hunting if you want to go. I have 15 acres of my own, and permission from everyone on my side of the street to hunt their properties too." We all hunt up here, and all give each other permission to hunt on our properties, so it works out well. It's almost like having our own little hunting club here. We try to let each other know when we're going to be hunting, and where, so we don't accidentally walk up on each other and spook a deer or something..

Peace,
