[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 2404734, member: 74603"] LOL - just read some earlier posts - and other guys have read Carlos' 93 Confirmed Kills book, A big part of sniping is the stalk/hide - and I am so glad a Native American/Family Friend - former WWII Marine Sniper in the Pacific - a Modoc - (RIP Dear Buddy - his first name) - taught me some about moving through the woods way back in the 50's, He shot his deer thru the eyes to save meat and he usually passed on the Monster Mulies we had back then - some over 300 lbs (we talked weight then - not horns) - to shoot smaller - more tender ones. :) Later Buddy drove the Reservation school bus - and the kids never knew what old Grandfather type - soft spoken Buddy has done in the war. He and his dear wife Nell - (from an Oklahoma tribe) also raised the most beautiful horses and Buddy could ride with anyone. What an amazing life he led. If you want to know more about the Modocs - more Warriors than the Klamath Tribe - read about Captain Jack's Stronghold - where a small group held off a much larger force of battle hardened Civil War vets - who also had artillery.
