I see the old coot squad hasn't chimed in yet. I got my 1st deer and 1st elk both with a Win 94 in 32 Special. I got a number of deer with that rifle before I got my 1st scoped gun. I'm betting that most of the 70+ members here did something similar.
Just had #53. My first deer was with a borrowed 98k and oem sights. Funny how my 70+ Dad borrows way better rifles from me for deer season.
