    Very cool hunt, watched this guy run off another buck then breed a doe in the thicket by my stand. Ended up coming out and giving me about a 13 yard shot. He was a little run down but still weighed right at 180 pounds. Had my pops and brother with me too so all in all a great way to end my season (wifes c-section on Dec. 20) ;)

    Congrats on a nice buck. I've always wanted a 30-30 lever action. I had a 357 lever for awhile, loved shooting it.

    Trust me I hated taking it, but afterward I thought it turned out about as good as a "selfie" could.

    I absolutely love that gun. It' a youth model, 18" bbl. and I'm not kidding you it's the absolute best rifle I've ever handled in "thicker" woods. Super easy to sling over my shoulder too in case I want to bring my bow or shotgun along as well.

    They did something right with the 336's. We have two of them and they are so darn accurate and consistent. Great buck too.
