To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Mossberg 500 12ga pump slug gun from approx. 12 feet. Thing was in a dead run straight at me. A fallen tree stump was the only thing that stopped it from knocking me over.

1987 S-10 Blazer 4x4 on Slanting Bridge Road,  Mooresville, NC. The Blazer took the worst of it. :P

BUT, got one with a "loaner" Model 94 Winchester 30/30 at 45- 50 yds, in 1993. Nothing but meat. Haven't shot one since. :-\

I hear ya' tt,,,,,loved that stupid Blazer...

It was a joint effort!   ;)

Me....Savage Bolt Action 30-30, my cousin Chuck....Winchester '94 in 30-30...

I emptied two mags (8 rounds) into him from about 100 yards and Chuck cleared the Winny as well..  Damn thing wouldn't stop!  

I had the pleasure of skinning the damn thing, counted 12 hits...obviously we overreacted...  I was 14, Chuck was 13 or so!

Oh, and my other cousin Ron had hit him the night before from about 300 yards at dusk...

Not proud of that one but it's my first third of a deer.  Got a whole one the next fall with my trusty Savage...a button!

 ;D

Any useable meat left on him? :o

Older Remington 760 in 30-06. That gun killed at both ends

I have a 760 in .30-06, and I know exactly what you mean (never killed anything but paper with it though.). Plastic butt plates suck, but are better than steel ones in this case. I'm after a soft rubber pad for mine if I can find one.

From recollection, and this was about 40 years ago mind you.....we probably missed the neck and the whole right side, only one edible shoulder as Ron's shot went through the left shoulder and exited at an acute angle in the chest but missed the vitals.  He must have been shooting at an extreme rear quartering angle and downhill.  The buck came over the hill on three legs when Chuck and I opened fire.  I was quite suprised we hit him that many times and now that I've thought about it, I think my brother might have put one in him as well.  He's the one that flushed him out of the cedar swamp he'd bedded down in the night before.

Burger, good backstraps, neck roast and half a useable hide...'nuf for a pair of gloves or two...and of course, the heart and liver where in good shape!

I think the darn thing finally died from the weight of all the extra lead we pumped into it...  that and the round that Chuck put between his eyes for good measure.  Broke the skull and ruined the rack mount!

Dad and my Uncle Mike were NOT happy with us...
