in 92 I had been married for a year and had a newborn son. I only hunted with my 55# Bear Take Down Hunter at that time and I missed a whole lot more than I hit. I can't stand my ex now but we had alot of good times back then. She always wanted to go with me so it normally ended up that we would drive until we'd find a herd of blacktails and then she'd watch while I stalked. I did carry a model 57 for back up but that was a few years before I considered my sidearm a primary weapon.
