the astounding story of Chuck Mawhinney:
"It was the ultimate hunting trip."
Chuck Mawhinney grew up hunting in the forests of Oregon with his father, a World War II Marine Corps veteran. As he developed into a superb marksman, the Marines couldn't wait to send him into Vietnam — all they had to do was promise that he could wait to deploy until after deer-hunting season ended. When he got to Vietnam in 1968, Mawhinney simply took the astonishing skills he'd learned hunting deer and applied them to hunting people.
By the end of the war, Mawhinney was the deadliest sniper in the history of the Marine Corps, responsible for killing anywhere between 103 and 319 people. Only one enemy ever entered his scope and managed to survive. In one incident, he single-handedly stopped a Viet Cong assault with 16 dead-on headshots in just 30 seconds.
