Hunting in the thick brush of Eastern OK and Western AR is by no means long range hunting. My first was a Marlin 336 in 30-30 purchased after a summer of dish washing in a cafe between my eigth grade and freshman year in high school. The first deer fell to it that fall while I was on crutches following a football injury. My second "brush and everything else gun" was a Rem. 700 BDL in 7mmMag that I used 140 gr. Sierra's for light quadrupeds and 175gr. Nosler partitions for the heavy quadrupeds. Then I found the lastest and sweetest "brush gun". It was in the pawn shop and it smiled at me as I walked toward it. It was a Remington 700 BDL 375 H&H Magnum (from the Rem Custom Shop) with one of those sweet little Leupold dangerous game scopes on it. I adopted it since it was love at first sight. The best part was at deer camp this last year when someone said, "I know you shot so what did you get?" I replied, "How do you know it was me that shot?" The response was, "Because you shook the leaves off the trees!" Yeah, that's my new brush gun!
