My first rifle was a new Remington Model 7 in .308 topped with a Leupold scope. After years of hunting public land, I finally took a doe with it. It was mid-day, and I decided to try some still hunting. Before long I heard something behind a bush and shouldered my gun. About 30 yds away a doe stepped out and looked at me. I took a broadside double lung shot, and it went down immediately. When I brought it home I called my grandfather in Wisconsin and asked him how to butcher it. He was a deer hunter, but I never got to hunt with him because my family always lived far away. He was extremely proud of me, and I am so glad I got to share that experience with him before he passed away.
Anyway, I wish I still had that rifle because they are pretty expensive now.
