I shot this mule deer buck at 140 yds. with one of my Ballard rifles in .38-55 Marlin caliber. My nephew took this picture, and we forgot to get the rifle in the image.

The Ballard is a Union Hill schuetzen rifle, and my hunting partners thought it was pretty funny when I opened the case and got it out. But when I took the buck opening morning they stopped laughing.

Took this decent mulie with my Rolling Block in .40-65 a couple years later.
