Why is it everytime someone has a really good post someone has to come in and run their mouth? If you disagree with someone then don't post your comments. He put this post on to celabrate his kill, not ask whatreaders oppinions are on gun choices. And besides rcw280 you said in one of your recent post that the 280 is your favorite deer load? So just because the rut is on we have to hunt harder? I suppose when rut starts you crack out your handy homemade long bow with wooden arrows because you are the ethical hard core hunter right? Or do you too use the modern day technology that compound bows with fiberoptic sights and releases have to offer? unless you do it like a indian and make all your own stuff, shut your mouth!!!! Oh yea, nice buck bukmastr!!
