1962, a great mule deer buck, near La Pine Oregon, 1 shot running with a 30:06. Somewhere around that same timeframe I killed my first elk, near the Billy Meadows Ranger Station, in NE, Oregon, with the same rifle.

Running shot with a model 99 300 Savage. Hit it in the horn and knocked it out. Came alive a little later.

Winchester model 1894 30-30 rifle I got from my grandfather. Running shot right through the heart ant about 60 yards on an average size pacific mule deer doe. At 14 my dad thought I had missed and hauled a friend’s doe he had shot in the same small herd. I stayed to track - found her right behind the first tree she ran behind. Ran the mile to the cabin to get dad & the truck.

1920s vintage 1894 Winchester saddle ring carbine in 30-30. The rifle was traded to my grandfather in the Depression for work in lieu of cash.
The saddle ring was rumored to have been removed my father at age 16 because “it made too much noise in the woods” - the stud was still there, and an old Lyman or Redfield peep was added.
It was a complete #%^# show on my part, but we ended up with a big fat whitetail doe and I gained a number of painful lessons that day.

12 gauge not 23 gauge. Had a weird glued on site. I remember sighting in and I centered the target. One shot and good to go I used a 12 ga 870 Wingmaster here in Iowa and the sight (the same one you used?) adhered to the receiver with an adhesive backing. It was about 9-10” long and was very malleable. You’d bend the front tip and back fork whichever way you needed as the means to sight in. Regular 28” barrel with fixed M choke. As I recall, I could keep the Foster slugs, about the only thing available then, in a paper plate at 90 yds or so. Walked up a big dry doe in a thigh-high dirty corn field (we used to have those). Straight-away shot. Broke her pelvis and severed the femoral artery. It was about a 20 yard recovery.
