Long Shots
Around 1975 my friend Jack Brookman, his father Jim Brookman and a few others were hunting deer in "single ball or slug country" in northern Schoharie county NY. We stopped for a break around 10 AM along a small stream, with a pasture to the north. Jack spotted a deer, with its antlers bright in the sun at the top of the hill to the north, about 200 yards away. Jack fired one shot from a single barrel 12, and the deer dropped without a step. We hauled the deer out ,and skinned it that evening. We never found an entrance or exit wound.
