My only contribution was to transcribe the story with as much fidelity as possible.<br /><br />Incidentally, Mr Shoemaker has many good things to say about bolt action rifles chambered in 30-06, shooting 200 grain Nosler Partitions. As long as the man or woman behind the rifle has plenty of field (position) shooting experience with that gun they are good-to-go.<br /><br />That being said, as a guide he finds himself in a high pucker situation more often than the dude. He is likely to carry something a little heavier. But then he practices with it often as well.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-26466459945660740192014-09-29T12:13:33.562-04:002014-09-29T12:13:33.562-04:00LOL, got me on that last one! :-) Know a trooper...LOL, got me on that last one! :-) Know a trooper up there that carries a 6in Model 29 in .44mag.
