Santa is going to be a
little down on horsepower this year so he may be a little late. Literally 5
minutes from the end of our walk I saw this big fallow buck only 100m
away.
The 7mm RM dropped it easy peasy. Too much rifle? Yep, but as the saying goes it's all about shot placement. That goes for the big gear as much as it does for the smaller stuff.
Only problem was I couldn't stand up with it on my back . A couple of milk tankers worth of Lion Brown over my 62 years may have put paid to that . Luckily my mate is in better shape and he carried it while I struggled to keep up carrying two rifles. Sort it out Smudge!

Blitzen also used to go by a strange name: Blixem (Dutch for lightning). Having a name like Lightning comes off as more than a little agro and makes the other reindeer uncomfortable, which is textbook toxic masculinity and has no place in wholesome present delivery.
