When I was young and naïve, I bought my first gun for deer hunting. It was a Marlin 336C in the 30/30. I asked the Gunsmith if the 30/30 was a good cartridge for deer. He said "It will knock a deer on its azz." The following year I had a buck walk out of the brush, he was facing me about 80 yards. So I shot him in the chest. Because of the recoil I didn't see the bucks reaction. But my buddy said "Wow, you flip him over backwards."

So I literally knocked a deer on its azz!
