My Dad and grandfather both made a switch from lever actions to that Woodsmaster back in the 80's and the pair of them harvested a fair share of deer. Once a local gunsmith reluctantly fixed a broken extractor in the early 90's my dad retired the gun. We now have two of them in the safe still shoot fine. At least you had the backup iron sights so your day could go on even with a rattled scope.
Love to hear it! Thanks for the story Stephen. This was my Grandfather’s gun passed down to me so it has a special place in my heart and has taken many bucks over the years. The drop downs are always a great fallback to have for instances like this or when tracking in thick/snowy conditions. Thanks for the comment!
Years ago… My dad was telling my brother to stop walking on the ice build up on the 2-track we Were walking… My brother didn’t allows like to listen… Even if he knew it was good advice. About 60 seconds later he was break dancing on the ice and ended up in a pile on the ground.. gun slammed down.. he slammed down.. lol… Hope it all worked out
Ha! It can be dangerous out there but I guess we all learn one way or another. A few rough falls here and there throughout every season, but it’s all worth it in the end. Thanks for watching and sharing a story!
I had a checkered red/black jacket and pants by Woolrich and now have my Johnson Mills checkered green/black jacket and green wool pants! Can’t beat them….
