What Was your first deer shot with?

[Red foreman]

100 yard boiler room with a sporterized 303 british. Dropped like a sack of rocks.

 

[Magellann]

So far all my deer have been taken by bows, I can get them close to home, and its archery only season there. Last deer was a doe at 8 yards a few weeks ago.

 

[sharp shooter]

Auto 5 three inch mag with a Hastings Paradox riffled slug barrel and three inch Winchester XP3 sabot slug!

My first few deer were shot with a CIL 972C (Parker Hale) in .270 Win. It was a 16th birthday gift from my parents.

F150

Good one LOL

 

[Magellann]

Ive got one with the truck as well, its easier than hauling them out of the bush.

 

[Calum]

F150

Lol, so that's an approx 144,000,000 grain projectile.

 

[ciphery]

A 19" GT cabon fiber bolt, 3" blazer vanes and a 100gr slic-trick broadhead from a slightly modified Excalibur pheonix @ 26yards.

this year I took a 10 point buck that was guessamatied to be 300 plus on hoof w a 260 blr

 

[Attilathecanuk]

.303 British in the chest 45 yards open sights. Dropped right there. I think I was using 180 gr coreloks

 

[tinbird]

444 Marlin, with the then only load of a 240 grain softpoint, took a whitetail doe through both lungs at about 40 yards back in Nova Scotia, ahhh the memories...

Remington 760 .30-06. Back of the head I think if I remember correctly - that was 30 odd some years ago ... or more. That gun accounted for a lot of deer before it left my possession. I know who owns it now and he still drops the odd whitetail or elk with it.

 

[MD]

Did I answer this already?

Old bubbaed Ross straight bolt 303. Neck shot with iron sights at 60 yards.

 

[jimy]

180 gr. Fusion out of an M305.

 

[Barnes_270]

My first few deer were shot with a CIL 972C (Parker Hale) in .270 Win. It was a 16th birthday gift from my parents.

For me it was almost the same: Parker Hale 1200C in 270 Win, 15th birthday present from my dad. The deer was a tiny little spike buck on the Queen Charlottes.

 

[saskcop]

180 gr. Fusion out of an M305.

Nice. They say that 180 grain bullets are a bit of a stretch for the M305 platform's op-rod. Just saying what I heard ...

 

[NBK16]

4 point, 90ish yards, tgrs m-995 in .270win double lung shot.

 

[redryder]

Many moons ago with my grandfathers Savage 99 in 250/3000. Actually shot a few with that rifle and to this day I haven't come across anything better for deer in that area.
Funny thing is though, I never actually owned anything myself in that calibre. Might have to remedy that with maybe a .250 Savage AI.

 

[Warden70]

Marlin Glenfield 30A in 30-30 Win. Shot a 4-pointer through both lungs with 1 round of Federal 170 gr. Power Shok. Bullet went in between 2 ribs and out between 2 ribs. I lost maybe 2 ounces of meat. Butcher I took it to laughed and said he never seen such a cleanly killed deer. It was a 25 yard shot from a poorly constructed tree stand. Never again will I see such a perfect broadside shot....
