Hand picked rock out of the creek bottom and a sling shot!

Remington 742 243 didn’t like it much but it did the job. I bought my grandson a Winchester 270 featherweight and got an extra stock on eBay and shortened it to 12 inch he is 8 years old and has killed 2 deer so far he is a hunting machine.

That would be a borrowed 98 mauser in 8x57, "customized" with a cut down stock some time in the '60s. I think I might be the youngest guy to use such a contraption for hunting, as I'm a mere 54 years old.

Winchester model 95 (1903) 30-06 in about 1951 This was the family gun. Killed a nice 4x4 mule deer buck in spite of not knowing anything.
It had the issue buckhorn sites & they worked on many head of critters later in my hunting days.

My father's Western Field .30-30-- a Montgomery Ward "store brand" Marlin 336. The ammo was also Western Field, probably made by Federal. He bought it at the local "Monkey Ward" retail store, three blocks from our house in Bozeman, Montana--and the ammo was also Western Field, probably made by Federal. It was a package deal with a fixed 4x, made by Light Optical of Japan. The range was about 40 feet, in ponderosa pine timber. Could only see the shoulder area through the scope, but the doe dropped right there. I don't remember the photo, but the episode was written up in one of my loading manuals somewhere as a foreword

Early 90s PSE Spirit Compound Bow. Game Getter II aluminum arrows. Thunderhead 125 on the end. She was 18yrds from my treestand. It was OCT 17th 1997, I was 12. First season I was legal to deer hunt in Michigan back then. She field dressed @110lbs and had 2 fawns in tail. I will never forget it.
Dad taught me and assisted me in tanning her hide. I still have it and it hangs on my wall.

Win '94, 30-30, . 1966., central ND. Dad's rifle. Nothing with it since. Couple brothers killed with it in the interim in NV, ID.
It's my walk-about rifle up here. I should kill something with it again. 1966 was a long time ago!
I did kill my first moose with a Marlin 336 now sleeping with the fishes , in 1969 or 70 before I re-acquired the '94 from a deceased brother.

Remington 760 Game Master in 30-06.
It belonged to my grandfather, I took it over when I was 14-15. Still have it today, killed 2 deer with it this season. But have lost track of all the game it has put in the freezer and on the table.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.
