Default My One and Only.....

Not wanting to steal Russ's thread. This is my one and only deer. Taken on December 19th 1998 at 7:20 AM 170lbs. Taken with a 54 Cal. Thompson Center caplock muzzle loader with a round ball. Amazing thing though he ran almost 100 yards after being hit and when I dressed him out his heart was exploded. Adrenaline is an amazing thing. I was alot younger then....

Russ, I continued to hunt for a few more years but I found myself drawn more and more to the upland life.Here in CT you can just about walk out your door and arrow a deer.Larry works pretty hard at it and has great success.

OK now fess up what make of vehicle did you use to run him over with

I haven't killed a buck with a front stuffer...yet. They can be dead on their feet and go amazing distances. I like to shoot them right on the point of the shoulder, you lose some burger but don't have to chase them.

I've never had to take more than one shot to kill a buck and never had a deer go more than 50 yards. The first five were with my Model 94 .30 -.30 and the others were with my Ruger .270 but then, I've never taken a shot at a running deer.

Calvin, It was 100 grains of Pyrodex and a patched round ball. That was the load that particular gun shot the most consistantly.
