Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Location: On the couch a lot now that I'm retired
I left the service in 1970 and attended college on the GI bill. I believe I got $175 per month for tuition and the remainder could be squandered on stuff like rent, gasoline, utilities & food.

Jobs were few & far between at the time, so my roomie & I and sweeties lived on deer all that winter. His Dad had served in N Africa and had a Carcano with 3 or 4 boxes of issue ammo.

We shot deer with it and got by. A farmer gave my gf 100# of potatos & that really helped. Later on I got a job & was able to add a bottle of vino to the menu once in a while.

Sometimes I wonder if people aren't a little happier when life is simpler like that. No TV - we played a lot of cards & board games like monopoly... We didn't have much but I don't recall a lot of arguing.

But I digress. One shot - one deer. All winter long. I still think it doesn't matter what caliber you hunt with - just practice as much as your circumstances allow and "closer is better"! ;)

Was it sinful to poach deer like that? Probably. But we were not on food stamps or any kind of assistance. I believe it would do it again.

I would not hesitate to take a Carcano after deer again. SW
