I killed my first deer with a single shot 410 slug, because I wasn't old enough to handle much recoil, but to answer your question, my first "deer rifle" was a Remington 742 Carbine 30-06. It still occupies a spot in my safe after all these years.
24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.
