    I got a giggle out of it . I may even forward it , or tell it over coffee with the club tomorrow . For the record , no , there's nothin' wrong with .300 Win Mag for deer , especially at longer distances , like might be encountered from "a tall tower stand " . Keep 'em comin' .

    Georgia bean field hunters favor that caliber along with the 25-06 and 243.

    Have a buddy who has taken mulies and elk with his 300 W-M at distances exceeding 400yds.

    I knew a guy in PA that hunted whitetail with a .243. He shot the lower jaw off one while it was running and had to track it 2 miles before it finally bled to death.

    A real Scotsman will track a deer for days with nothing more than a sling and a hunting knife and it wasn't about sport. It was about feeding a village.
