Wow, you think a deer that was carrying a 30/30 would have been able to defend itself.

That IS a dandy!
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

30-30 just might be the most under rated ctg.

Re: Marlin 30-30 takes dandy buck
Impossible. I thought the 30-30 was supposed to be too underpowered for deer?
Very nice buck. Certainly not taken in California.

Looks very much like a pic on MO under the heading "Long Range 30-30" in which CaptainMal claims to have taken the 8 point deer in Georgia with a Hornady FTX bullet and Hodgdon Leverevolution powder.

Re: Marlin 30-30 takes dandy buck
I never tire of 30-30 does good threads. Nice bragging buck!
Re: Marlin 30-30 takes dandy buck
Are you sure that the buck was taken with that anemic, underpowered .30-30? Why, we all know that it takes at least a 180 grain bullet at 3,500 fps to take a deer, or at least that is what the gun magazines tell us. One roll of the eyes wasn't enough. Nice buck!

As I recall, none other than the the great Chuck Yeager had to use a .50BMG from a low flying P-51.piller wrote:Are you sure that the buck was taken with that anemic, underpowered .30-30?

I figure if men like him gotta do it that way, that must be the RIGHT way.

If that deer had been carrying his rifle instead of slinging it he might have stood a chance!
