The spike I shot this year was an absolute trophy to me. Dead before he hit the ground. Then I spent the rest of the day, solo packing meat off the hill. There is a boost of confidence and definitely a sense of accomplishment when you set that pack on the tailgate with the last quarter in it...
When my Grandpa passed in 2011, I got all of his reloading stuff since I was the only one out of the family that used to go out and reload with him. I haven't used very much of his stuff, but I just pulled a brick of CCI Large Rifle primers out that had an Ace Hardware price tag for $8.99. He...
