I was just there as a guest, but did most of the shooting. We killed around 32. I think the tails we’re bringing 5 to 7 dollars, but those were for Bull nutria to collect on. He provided the boat and made it one of the best days hunting I’ve ever had.that always looked fun, how much you get for a tail these days

Last year, I worked on an old parts gun, a National Ordnance 1903A3 and shot a doe in our early old mans and young kids rifle doe season.

This year, I pulled my old 1924 Spanish mauser in 7mm mauser. It's a 1916 Oviedo, was my first deer rifle and literally a piece of junk. The barrel is corroded, the stock is cracked but it's fun to shoot.
So, cleaned the barrel as best I could, put a very cheap scout scope on it after a field gauge wouldnt close, got a set of dies, my friend was selling some 175gr Hornadys and Sierra gamekings.
Tried various downloaded charges and have another set to try getting the velocity up to around 2200.
I'm still at 50 yards but this will be a 100 yd rifle tops.
Not sure why I'm this involved with this old rifle but the target is to shoot a deer with it and maybe retire it to wall hanger status. Next year maybe the Spanish FR8

I have worked a hunting load for my PA10 but Pa does not allow semiauto to hunt deer yet.
