    Henry made his living shooting deer for skins up the back of Tokomaru - I met him in about 1965 - he had been doing it since around 1945 when he decided to withdraw from society and live in the bush - he probably shot a thousand or more deer during that period with his 303 - all his ammo were solid nose and came from NZFS and like many hunters of the day - he put a file over the tip - likely most of the deer fell over close by. Me and my Mates that started hunting in 1965 used 303 or 30.06 - we built a jig for each and drilled them with a 1/16th drill - most of the deer fell over fairly close. Most of us started without scopes or dogs. Most deer die fairly rapidly if they get hit in the shoulder with any caliber 243 or larger - 270 is a great rifle!Name:  IMG_0004.jpg
