It is the title of Lt. Col. Norman Chandler's series of Marine Corps sniper rifle books. It also (sorta') applies here. This past Friday afternoon, I was fortunate enough to get this perfect 8 point buck! When I say perfect, I am referring to an absolute "0" point deduction off his score as everything measures exact!
I have most certainly killed bigger ones but never a better one, in ref. to measurements. A couple of quick "camera-pics", resized for here. 1st. After I dragged him the 25+ yards that he ran, I got this pic (Notice one of his smaller rubs behind him.):
2nd pic is shot back to the little shooting house I shot him from, from where (approx.) he was shot, although about 20 yards farther behind me at the time I shot the pic. The distance, measured on a zeroed trip odometer read just over 2/10ths of a mile. Later I shot it with my rangefinder and it measure 345 yards.
Best, Capt. Chris

Great pictures Cap. Not a bad shot (actually really great). Congratulations

Pappy,
While I am pleased with the Creedmore's accuracy, we (members at the hunting camp) have lost "4" nice big bucks do to very poor bullet performance, once impacted. This 8 pt. shown here was shot through the heart with a Ga. Arms, 165 Grain Boatail ballistic tip in America's (& mine) favorite: 30-06!
Bad medicine,
Capt. Chris
PS: Trailered-up and waiting on the scales. Notice the license plate!

PPS: Also notice, by his rank anatomy, he's been "lookin'...& finding Love!

Can't go wrong with that setup. Lots of meat in my freezer from a 165 gr Nosler Partition in both 30-06 and 7mm Mag. Very nice buck Cap.

Cap,

You know the 30-06 has great knockdown power and IMO the best hunting cartridge around.

I reload my 30-06 & .300 Weatherby with 165 grain boattail ballistic tip; flat shooting and deadly accurate.

Buy bullets, primers and powder the scales are tipping against us!

Congrats again on a fine deer.

Nice buck, Cap. Damn good shot, I might add.

30.06 is also the most versatile caliber.

You can load it with any bullet from 55 grain to 220 grain.

Thanks to all for the "congrats"! It was a good day, that's the truth. Hopefully, there'll be more good days to come.
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

Capt. Did you use that sweet rifle you picked up at the fall Hoover gun shoe?
