[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 3016786, member: 9117"] I started hunting and trapping in elementary school because I hung out with a couple of cool friends who introduced me to it. My parents and grandparents didn't hunt and didn't have any firearms to speak of. About 12-13 I begged my dad to help get me a deer rifle. This was pre-internet and the only access I had to gear and ammo was what Walmart, Otasco and TG&Y carried. Dad somewhere rangled a Savage 99 in .300 sav, he didn't know the first thing about guns but whomever he bought it from said it would work just fine for deer. I didn't realize it then, but it was in fairly nice shape. Had the brass round counter in the little window. Only problem was every time I was able to hitch a ride to town, nobody ever had any ammo. I tried and tried for months to find ammo at the only sources I knew to no avail. Ended up trading it for a Marlin 30-30. Would love to have that one back.. [/QUOTE]
