Thought I'd post one of my carbines

Hey Bill, the notches are on my deer rifle. It's a Remington 788 in 7mm 08 Rem. It has a Tasco 2-7 scope. It has been my prime hunting rifle for over twenty years. I shoot lefty most of the time. I have learned to live with the bolt action. All of the notches are for deer here in central Wisconsin. Some years you get skunked, and like last year I got two, one out of a tree stand and one a buck on the jump over an open field, that I killed on the third shot. So far since Sat. our opening of "gun season" I have seen 19 deer and two small bucks but let them all go. We try to shoot only 2 1/2 year old bucks here on my place, or a big dry doe if we need the meat. It pays off in seeing big bucks and that is what makes hunting exciting for me. I'm taking today off deer hunting to catch the last day of duck season and will be back at trying to get the big buck tomorrow. Have a good one.....Frank
