Winchester Model 37 .410 single shot w/W-W Foster slug in 1951. Range about 20 yards outside the hayloft of my Mom's barn. Little forkhorn Blacktail. Got another one the following season at a longer range and had to track that one--our stock dog Jock followed the blood trail right to the dead critter.
Nexr season my Grandad took pity on me and gave me a '92 .25-20. I used that for years, all the way thru grad school....
Was Mike Armstrong. Got logged off; couldn't log back on. RE-registered my old call sign, Mesa. FNG. Again. Mike Armstrong

My first deer and elk, both fell to a 7 x 57, the rifle was a 95 Chilean Mauser Carbine, in full military. I got the rifle as payment, for cleaning my uncles gun shop! During my jr high and high school years, I aquired 12 different Mauser and Springfield rifles. From a very great uncle!

Springfield 03 “custom” with K4 scope.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Three days before Christmas 1982 I killed a little 7point with my Christmas present that was given to me early. It was a Smith & Wesson 1000P 12ga pump. The buck was shot at about 40 yards with a load of 00 buckshot. He ran maybe a hundred yards and then piled up. What a wondrous morning it was! I was 14.
