I ended up with the one little 4-point buck for the Swamp Dragon to feed Chuck. Didn't see a better buck all season. Didn't take the two does I usually do because of our club's unanimous decision to leave the does alone this year to build up our herd. Numbers were down due to a hard hit in our area by EHD last Spring.

"What Can You Get For $100 Dollars?"
To answer your Question, even if you really weren't looking for one, I have bought a couple of Traditions inlines with scope packages, new in the box, that have brought the price of the rifle minus the value of the scope, rings and bases, down to just around that much. The Canyon being one of them. I think it was purchased from The Sportsman's Guide.
Nice job cleaning that one up.

Well, they'll be OK for sighting in the scope.As we were exchanging gun & cash, the seller tells me, "I've killed a few deer with this gun with no problem. But last season I shot a nice buck at only 40 yards. Couldn't see where he ran because of the smoke. We found some blood where he was standing when I shot him. But nothing else, and we never found him.
Now this guy had already told me he used the gun only one weekend per year. But I hadn't seen the contents of the dry-box yet. Taking a wild guess I said, "I'll bet you were using three pellets and a Powerbelt, and shot him in the shoulder."
His eyes got big and round and he said, "How the hell did you know that?"

Boy I'm missing a lot not being on here as often as I used to. My MLs are collecting dust waiting for this weather to break. Every time I think I am going to get out either something comes up or we get another snow storm. Then the snow melts and turns my shooting area into a mud hole.
