I took the girls hunting and they did this.  This is Mrs. JTEX's first White tail deer, and her first North American game animal. Her first game animal was a Springbok killed in South Africa in June of '07. I may have created a monster!!!! Oh, Yeah, she stole my .308 when we got back and claims it as her own now!  This is my miniature daughter's first buck ( not bad for an 11 year old ) she killed her first doe last season and this year we found her a nice 8 point. 131 1/2", damn nice I'd say for the TX hill country. She now insists on being called BUCKSHOT, or Deerslayer. That little rifle the kid has is her own, it is a Remington model 7 in 6mm Rem., my great Aunt, her great great Aunt, gave it to the kid when she retired from deer hunting at the young age of 77. It looks like it is in good hands. Low fence hill country deer, Junction, TX. | ||

That is a really nice buck the Deerslayer got. If your wife took your .308 doesn't that mean you get to go buy another gun?? Founding member of the 7MM STW club Member of the Texas Cull Hunters Association | |||

Buckshot-I like that. A Zulu tracker named my oldest daughter Mamba because she never missed and was deadly when she struck. Wow that is a very nice buck your little girl killed and congratulations to your wife. As a father of two young ladies who hunt, I am very impressed by your efforts and results in getting the girls in your life into the hunting culture. Keep up the good work. Perry | |||

Outstanding Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
