The first day 300win.mag. 165gr sierra game king hpbt., after that if I`m in the fields I`ll take the .280- 130gr sierra matchking, and when I`m driving deer for the women,kids & old guys I carry my 94 marlin 44 mag 220gr sierra full profile jacket.. I spend most of the season doggin` for everybody , so I spend alot of time with that old 44. nothin better than hearing shooting at the other end and walking out and seeing a smile as wide as texas standing over a whitetail buck!!!

ALL DAY, EVERY DAY,IN THE WOODS...
