Was in the deep woods on a foggy morning, watching a nice fork horn moving toward me. I was hoping to bag the 10 pointer I'd been dancing with all season but really wanted some meat in the freezer.
Anyway, I watched him move in to about 20 yards. I only had a single round. After a moment of consideration I raised my 94 to port arms and shook it real hard. The buck's eyes rolled up and I guess he had a heart attack.
There are several reasons the Model 94 and the .30-30 are legends. Being able to rattle down some grub is just one of them.
I got the 10 pointer 2 days later with a butt stroke. Had to use my bullet the day before to foil a bank robbery.
