Son’s rifle brings back a lot of memories
T he little buck was
coming from behind
me and looking like
he would be veiy close
when he arrived. So I put my
ear plugs in (I hate to shoot
the hand cannon without
hearing protection). When
he was behind the tree limb,
that I left there for just this
scenario, I raised the old
Smith and Wesson.
I’ve heard it said that fly
ing in an airplane can be
described as long periods

of boredom
punctuated
on each end
by a few
minutes of sheer terror. I
would say almost the same
thing about deer hunting.
I’m usually excited to hit
the woods and after a short
time, I’m bored and then
if a deer shows up I have
to work at calming myself
down.
This season I have been
hunting with C.W’s rifle. I
have mixed feelings about
his outdoor equipment, I
think he would want me to
use his stuff, but it’s hard,
lots of memories. The rifle is
a Savage Model 110 in .270
Winchester Short Magnum
with a nice Redfield scope.
A great “beanfield” rifle.
As the handgun came up
I tried to focus on the open
sights. Legal shooting time
ends at one half hour af
ter sunset and on the West
side of a woodlot there is
plenty of light right up un
til that time. But, inside the
woods or on the shady side
of the woods, not so much. I
couldn’t see the sights. So I
holstered the 44 and turned
the magnification down on
the rifle scope. The stand
has a railing to help keep
me in and to act as a shoot
ing aid. The deer was so
close I had to raise up in the
seat in order to shoot down
at him. The .270 short mag
is designed to kill dear on
the other side of the bean
field. At 15 yards he never
knew what hit him. Walking
to get the 4-wheeler, when I
got close enough A.C. asked
why I didn’t answer his text.
I told him I was busy. “Doing
What.” “Tagging a deer.” Lat
er when I checked my phone
the test message was “well”
and then “Did u shoot.” The
Polaris made short work of
fetching the deer. My com
panion says that after the
kill is when the work starts.
I tell him it is a labor of love.
A.C. is not much on cleaning
a deer but he makes a fine
bar tender.
Maybe one day the stars
will line up and I’ll get the
take a deer with a hand gun.
For now the tenderloins
sure were delicious, the
next morning for breakfast.
