What did you kill your first deer with?

[Solus]

I wasn't serious about being buried with them. I have 2 sons that will each get one.

That is great ....better...

Killed a 4 point buck with a Remington 870 with buckshot over 25 years ago. was being run by dogs (legal where I was at the time) and shot it on the run.
Fun times...

8 MM Mauser in 1963. I was 10 yrs old and it was my very first centerfire rifle. I shot a small Maine whitetail buck. I didn't hit where I was aiming, but it dropped in its tracks.

My father had the pair of rifles made for us by an old Maine gunsmith by the name of Chick Haw, the top one with the shorter LOP was mine and the bottom was his. I still have both of them and will probably be buried with them  .

I'll never forget what he said next......you shot it, you gut it!


Fond memories!

Beautiful rifles.

M1 Garand, 150 g Winchester Silver Tips.  Running shot at about 120 yards.  Right after sunup.

Second one was with an M1 Carbine.  I was actually hunting for some feral dogs that had been chasing the landowner's cattle.  But I had a deer tag, and when he saw me, he ran a little ways and stopped to look back at me.  Carbine knocked him flat on the ground.  He got up and ran about 75 yards, and was dead when I got to him.

Who wishes he still had knees that would let him go hunting........
