All of my shotgun deer were taken with open or no sights. Three four deer with an open sighted handgun. Since 2004 I've taken 7 deer with my peep sighted.300 Savage Model 99. A couple of deer decades ago with a peep sighted Marlin .35R. And my only elk with a borrowed .300 Savage

Some guys can’t kill anything without multiple Xs, crowded crosshairs and a spotter telling them to send it. Multiple deer here in Connecticut with a shotgun usually smooth bore and irons.

I’ve killed deer with my 54 ml and round balls
I prefer classic.

I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

I've got 5 deer pics on my phone now from past 8 years, killed this year's with a scoped 270Win. Vast majority of my rifle kills were with iron sights, coyotes, turkey, plus the deer which are easy! I've killed gray squirrels all my life with an open sighted 22, now that will challenge your shooting like nothing else, especially early season with leaves on, steep mountains & big timber. I've killed near a train load! But I'm 65 and that shooting ability has declined in past 7-8 years. But I can't post pics on this site.

A lot with a Rem. 11-87 and buckshot running dogs. Also a T/C Hawken .45 during muzzleloader season. I cant recall ever shooting a deer with a centerfire rifle that wasn't scoped.

Took my longest shot with a peep at 150 yards with the M71 348 Win this year. I like using irons or a peep. Still waiting for a good opportunity with the big 50 2 1/2" Sharps. Taken a few with a handgun and irons as well.

I've killed well over 100. My first deer was done with a Winchester Model 37 single shot 12ga with a BB sight at about 10 yards. My father bought it at the local hardware store for $20 back in the late 50's. It was the only shotgun he would let me run slugs through. I killed several with it. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xpb3WQ3l.jpg) Then I confiscated his Rem 1100 and bought a slug barrel for it with open sights. I killed a ton of deer with that gun. My son has it now. I also have this Zouave 58 cal reproduction that I bought when I was 15 or 16. I killed a ton of deer with this also. In 2002 I bought my Encore and never touched the Zouave for 20 years until they started our primitive season Feb 1-3. This was the last deer I killed last year. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/tXLbBvJl.jpg) well done.

If the front bead of a double barreled shotgun counts, I’ve killed a pile.

I killed a doe at 120 yards with a shotgun bead, spined her and she just tipped over easy-like, dead as can be. Have killed several with bird barrels, muzzleloader sights, iron sights on slug guns.

My first an only deer with open sights with a gun. I was 14 in central Wisconsin using my Franchi 20 g. semi auto. After that about a dozen with my bow,

Probably a dozen, all does, all with a flintlock.
I don't see well, have never desired to limit myself like that while using a
modern gun.
21 year old son in law loves to use open sights, don't tell the Boomers.
According to them, he doesn't know how.

Dozens upon dozens, too many to count, Sharps rifles with black powder, 50, 54, 58 and 8 Bore black powder muzzleloaders, all kinds of lever action rifles with black powder and smokeless, as well as a dozen more with 12 gauge buckshot and slugs, not the most effective way to hunt, but definitely the most satisfying.

Killed my first deer with my dad’s 1954 rem pump in 270. Used it again a few years ago to shoot a decent buck. I put a scope on it and my daughter killed a couple bucks with it. I’ll probably be dead but m leaving it to my grandson and hoping he will carry on. He is only four now but his mother’s a hunter still. Edk

A few with the Hawken and a .530 PRB.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
