Thanks AO forum!
It has been a bit of a journey, and many forum members have been remarkably patient with my two years of questions that highlight my inexperience. Thanks so much for your suggestions and assistance! One member even pm’d me to ask what he could do to help at one point, I tried to thank him by pm and I hope he got the note. I bought my Remington .270 win from a forum member, read a million posts, searched for info and finally, on Saturday, this was the result;
MY FIRST WHITETAIL! Only took me 66 years…

That's a fine buck you got. Congratulations on filling that tag, and I hope you enjoy some good tender loins and roasts out of him. Well done.
