1917 Enfield bolt action 30-06 converted to a sporter by my dad. I was hunting on Barbour WMA in 1985. I had gone back to the woods early and climbed my chosen tree with a Baker climbing stand, settled in and dozed off. A limb snapped behind me to my right and woke me up. I slowly eased my head around to see a buck walking towards me at 20 yards. The deer walked past my tree at 5 yards and was browsing on stuff as he moved along. I shouldered the old bolt action and dropped him at 15 yards. He was a 7 point, my first deer. I field dressed him and drug him back to my truck 100 yards or so. I managed to load him by myself, and took him to the check station. He was 123 pounds field dressed. Not a bad deer for Barbour WMA back in that day.

Hunting a powerline on bogue chitto creek. Had a group of young bucks come out right at dark. Shot the biggest one. Broke his back the first shot. Unloaded the rifle on him after that. 7mm-08. 13pt that had tines coming out of everywhere. Just a 1.5 year old deer but I was tickled. I was 11.

30-30 Marlin. High school girlfriend's dad just gave it to me. Wish I had hung on to it but had to sell it during hard times in college.

Back then doe days opened up the day after Christmas. I got a new ladder stand for Christmas so me and my younger brother went to some land in Elmore county that was owned by my dad's boss. It was up around Real Island and I could hear boats and sometimes folks talking down toward the lake. I put up my stand and got in it. Loaded my rifle and waited. Safety belt? I don't need no stinking safety belt! I think this was 1984.

About 4pm I saw a deer moving on my right side so I turned around to face him. I thought it was a doe but when I moved, I saw he had about 3" spikes. I didn't care. I'd never killed a deer and never even seen a buck before while hunting. So I pulled up to shoot and he moved. I hit him a little back. He took off running behind me and I started working that lever like The Rifleman! I shot again and he ran behind me then came around me on my left side so I turned around facing the other way. He ran down right by me and I shot the gun til it was empty. I was hitting and missing!

Poor deer finally laid down about 70 yards away head up and facing directly away from me. He was looking around so I loaded my last bullet and aimed at the middle of his back and fired. That did him in. I was so proud as if I'd shot a 10 point! I gutted him and me and my brother dragged him out to the road. I loaded him into the back of my Honda Civic and went on home! I shot about 7 times hitting him 3 of those including the final shot. I often wondered what those folks in those houses at Real Island thought when let loose a few hundred yards behind them with that that 30-30 that day.

Sounds like we may have stomped some of the same ground.
Yea, it does. Our group hunted down George Thomley Road. We hunted around Majors Creek, Steele Creek, School house Branch and Richard Eady’s gravel Pit if any of those areas rings a bell too ya? When Rabun Sportsman Club formed back in the Mid 1980’s some of the land we hunted bordered there club. Where was the area Ya’s group hunted in Rabun?



You remember the swimming hole on Majors creek called the Zero Hole? Used to run dogs in the woods across that bridge. And further up the road, before 59, my Mom's family had some land too. Mom is a Hadley.
Yea, We used to swim over at Majors Creek a good bit when I was a kid. We hunted about 2 or 3 miles to the NE of Ya as a crow flies. Ya hunt around Aaron Hadley Road? There was always a Real Good Deer Population around Henry Bryars Property off of Aaron Hadley Road.

I would love to have that one back. It was stolen in '98 when mom and dads house was broken into. I still look for it in every pawn shop or gun store I go in. Speaking of that, if anyone has or sees a model 12 16 gauge with a solid rib on the barrel and the serial # 757546, I'd sure like to have it back. I bought another one, but it's not the same.
