I forgot to mention one episode that caused a chuckle. It occurred the morning I killed the larger of the two bucks. After my brother and I had loaded the deer in my truck, the local game warden drove up to take a look. After admiring the deer he noticed the side by side rifle on the toolbox and asked what it was. Before I could answer he proclaimed it was illegal to hunt deer with a 410 shotgun. I explained it was a rifle and he stated "makes no difference if the barrels have been rifled or not, a 410 is still a 410". Since he appeared a little agitated I asked him to have a look at it. He gave it the once over and proclaimed "leave it to Remington to screw up the gun world with something like this", I explained it was actually made in Russia and began discussing my limited knowledge of double rifles. I offered to let him have a go with the rifle. We set up a target for him at 50 yards and the 30-06 did not disappoint, even in the hands of a nasayer. The end result was this gentleman is now the proud owner of a Remington/Baikal 30-06 (not mine).
have a great day
