700 BDL in .270. The mule deer dropped right there. So did the next two, as well as my son’s first two deer with the same rifle, and my first elk.

Mossburg 500 12 ga with vent rib barrel and pumpkin ball slugs. Year before I missed a deer with a savage Stevens single shot 12 ga that a point of impact about a foot from where you put the bead so I talked my dad into an upgrade for the next year.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

Hanco: Remember my first Deer like it was yesterday, even though it was in 1959. The Rifle used was the families only "gun" a sporterized Winchester Model of 1917 in caliber 30/06. I was 12 years old Hunting in the Wolf Canyon of taxingtons Okanogan country. Original peep sighted Rifle and the shot was 125 yards or so - to harvest a dandy 2x2 Mule Deer Buck. Drug that chubby young Buck all the way back to camp "whole" (by myself) as I had NO idea how to dress it out. Lot of water (and Big Game animals) under the bridge since then. Time flies. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
