[QUOTE="30-06 boy, post: 245684, member: 5097"] just thought i'd share a story dear to my heart. i lost my grandpa last january. i'm 37 years old. i can count only 2 times in my 24 years of hunting that he missed the pa deer season opener at our cabin in northcentral pa. i now have his custom mauser in.257 roberts. so you know what i was hunting with on the opener this year. at 730 am,i spotted this deer from my climbing treestand about 100 yards away with the ground being covered in snow. could not get a shot untill be was almost out of sight. but he finally "gave" me a shot. at the report he took off on a dead run. my brother came to help me recover him. a17" wide 9 point tioga county mountain deer. scored it from the b&c site at 110". not bad for a mountain buck. i even found the bullet after it passed through him. it was stuck in a log under the hole in the snow that made it poosible to see it. that buck will always be special to me , because i took him with "grandpa's .257". at grandpa's funeral he had full militaty honors with 3 volleys of 7 shots (blanks). he was a marine in ww2 in the pacific. had a purple heart also. but the reason i have included the military honors is this----- the rifles that shot the volleys were m1 garands which fire 30-06 blanks. as they were firing them i had a thought. i'm gonna load some of them and shoot a buck with "grandpa's funeral blanks". they sized ok in fl die and loaded fine. guess what i'm carrying next year? my mauser 98 in 30-06.my brother and dad have done the same thing.they had thier rifles loaded with" grandp's" shells this year but saw no buck to use them on. thanks for reading. just thought i'd share alittle bit from my heart. jason [/QUOTE]
