He went from a "no guns" to a deer hunter in under a year. All the talking and gun shopping finally paid off. I found his rifle online. It was a new in the box, 1979 Savage 111 in 30-06. The scope is one I had. Today he got his first deer. It is now hanging in his shed. Not sure the weight but it is a good size deer. I just about died getting it in the back of my truck with him doing most of the work. Gutting it was a slow process that I eventually had to step in and cut harder. But he is happy. His wife is happy and I had fun. I brought my M1 Garand today. As seen in the last picture leaned with his as we were dragging mr spike out of the woods.









Here is the video of the shot. He hit the deer in the lungs. It ran about 100 feet and dropped.
