Ok, I am likely an odd ball. Nov. 1977 Waupaca co. Wis. ( central Wis.) a Franchi 48 in 20ga. I shot at it while it was running 4 times. Not sure what shot hit it but likely the last shot when it stopped to see what the noise was. It tipped right over at 30 yds.

Killed my first deer, a doe, in 1968 while squirrel hunting a bend in the Bogue Phila River ( means long river in Choctaw) southwest of Cleveland Mississippi. I was using my first gun, a Winchester model 37 steelbuilt 12 gauge shotgun. I had high brass 6s for the squirrels but a buckshot between the first two fingers of my left hand. I broke the gun and slipped in the buckshot and nailed her before she got 25 yards. I had already killed 6 squirrels and 2 wood ducks. I killed my first buck just south of this loop across the highway. Used a Marlin 336 in 30/30 170 grain CoreLocks. Was set up on a ditch bank beside a cut soybean field, small wood lot behind me. Benoit Hunting Club was running dogs and he and 3 does ran across the bean field to where I was on the ditch bank. He reared up his hind legs at the shot and fell over backwards. He was a spike. Had to be 4” to be legal. Right antler was 4” and Left was 4 & 1/4”.

Remington M700 ADL 30-06 with a 150 gr Speer mag tip hand load. Believe a 3x9 VX or vari x II. Whatever Leupold was making in 79 when it was bought new. Big fat doe, flattened her immediately.

Interarms Mark X Mauser in 30-06, with a Bushnell 3-9x32 scope.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

I too am shocked by the amount of folks first deer that were killed with a shotgun. I really had no idea. the sparsely populated Wi. co i hunted was shotgun only in the 70's, so no choice... i would much rather have used a rifle... now, with triple (or more!) the population, rifles are legal... i'm sure many other first deer shotgun users had similar situations...

First deer was killed in 1977 with a 1971 Ford Ranger. Actually, that was the first deer I'd ever laid eyes on in my home county. First actual hunting kill was a few years later, with a Winchester model 670 in 30-06.
