[QUOTE="Anthrops, post: 2765065, member: 126362"] Hello! I’m originally from Southern Minnesota and grew up in a family that did a little shooting, but not much hunting. I always wanted to deer hunt growing up, but couldn’t get my dad to take me. Went to college in Seattle, then Grad school in Pasadena, where I met my wife. We got married and after a year the opportunity to hunt MN whitetail with my dad and some uncles on my uncle’s farm finally happened. I used a TC contender with a 45 colt barrel built by the TC custom shop I bought from a guy new in the box. 15” and rifled. Dad helped me work up some handloads (250 xtp over W296) and we put 4 bucks on the ground that weekend between the 4 of us. It was a childhood wish fulfilled. Fast forward twenty years later and I have always wanted to go hunting again, but life with kids, work and living in LA county don’t make that easy. But a year ago I reconnected with an uncle from the Reno area who is an avid hunter/reloader and we’re doing our best to make a hunt happen. I have a lot of questions for you guys as I try to get this new hobby/obsession started. But for now just wanted to say hi! [/QUOTE]
