That boys jaw doesn't look quite right :chuckle: 

Nice picture and cool old gun.  I've been thinking of getting an old 30-30 and whacking a bear up close and personal.  I have a picture of my great grandfather and a big bear using a gun just like that.  Think it would be cool to have an antiqued picture wearing the same old clothes and shooting the same old gun and marrying the images so we are standing side by side.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Winchester model 97 trench built in 1914, have taken doves, grouse, pheasant, rabbits and vermin..
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Sixty-ish yards with cheap factory Winchester ammo. I had added the Marble tang sight just a week before, and absolutely love it. It just feels right carrying that gun in the woods. (Although in this case, it was grab it out of the back seat, throw a couple rounds in, and let it rip)

"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
