Maybe when I get old, Ill shoot a deer. Deer hunting was one of my Dads passions, and, I have two deer rifles around the place, a Marlin 336 in 30-30, and a Ruger carbine in .44 magnum. I shot the Ruger one time, one round, when I was 18 or so. Never fired the Marlin.
Dad got a big deer with the Ruger. He wasnt far from the end of his deer hunting career when Mom, my brother and I bought it for him. I would use Moms Irish Setter to hunt grouse when Dad went north.
Hope you are back to work soon Lloyd.

Best,
Ted
