For years I have been wanting to harvest a deer with one of my C&R rifles. Today I took a doe at about 50 yards with a 1938 Russian Capture K98.
Son and I went out early and froze our butts off. We did see some deer on the ridge line early. Too dark and too far away. We broke for an early lunch at 10am. Stan was in the truck warming up and I decided to walk the half mile cabin road to the main road. I almost neared the end when I saw the deer jump up and run off a ways. I took off the safety. Aimed and one shot drop. Not the biggest deer ever killed, but. I achieved a goal that I had set out for myself. Stan wasn't jealous, he was actually pretty happy that I was able to take a deer with a relic. For the past two years I have carried this rifle while he hunted with a scoped rifle.
I wish that he could have gotten a deer today, but as he put it. It was just fun spending some time together. I will try to post a picture once I figure how to post if from my phone.
