What a man, shooting a BIG caliber Rifle like that.... I'm so jealous..
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

If you reload, I can help you out with an excellent load for that .338.  You will find that it is the ultimate elk rifle, my brother and I sure love ours.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
