It was December 28th 1963, I was 11 years 10 days old (my Dad kept great records) hunting with my grandfather near Turkey Creek, Louisiana. The firearm was an Over/Under Stevens 22/410, killed with a 410 slug @ 55 steps……I said that my Dad kept good records. 😉 It was a small racked (very small racked) buck. I hit him in the neck, not where I was aiming, and he eventually bled-out!
Possibly the first “legal” deer killed in Evangeline Parish! 😂
My Dad won the Stevens right after WWII, gave it to me when I was 8, I’ve since given it to my son. memtb
