a 30/30 is a good "brush" gun because it can shoot thru brush.

I was shooting at a pig in a TiTi Swamp and bullet hit a twig about the size of 3 round tooth picks that was about 20 ft in front of barrel, Pig I was aiming at was 15 yards, pig I hit was almost 30 yards beyond the one I aimed at, I didn't even know he was there. Bullet....30/30 with open sights, deflected off twig, went over intended Pig and clipped the backbone of unfortunate in the wrong place at wrong time pig.


Hunt'em hard when they are hard to hunt but never, ever hardly hunt!
