Great story and a great old war horse. Love the 30-30 and bullet selection. I'm planning to load those for my 45-70 one day.

You did a great job with the story. Kept me interested all the way through. 
Congrats on taking that fine trophy. It looks great on the wall, and I'll bet those steaks were excellent!

I have found some of my most memerable hunts come when I carry the guns of my grandfathers or close family freinds. Makes me feel like they are on the hunt with me. I killed a buck I had trailed for several days with my grandfathers bolt action JC Higgins 12 gauge goose gun. I had climed a tree in the swamp in our old Pinetown NC farm and mid morning he walked by at 20 yards. A quick 2 shots (second was not needed) of buck shot and I had 19 of the 20 pellets in the bread box. He did not carry it off. Still have the rack in my manhouse. Has a flat "blade" that sticks out on base of the antlers that was destroying trees as he made his rubs. This hunt was 35 years ago, but I still relive it regularly.
