There was a thread on here that I can't find where authors were recommended for good reads while hunting. I can't find it. All I know is someone mentioned Lee Child. Gone thru 10 of his books so far. Read everything CJ Box has written. Any advice on some other good authors of fiction...
Have shot Winchester 1300 for years with first smooth barrel (rifled slugs), and rifled barrel (sabots) . 75 yards max. Plan on switching to a Savage 220 in the very near future. Bolt, with rifled barrel. All kinds of slugs out there and barrels can be picky about what they like.
Done that more times than I care to admit. Good thing is you'll never forget. Can still see in my mind certain dogs I have owned doing special things as if it was only yesterday. Thoughts are with you.
