After 3 years of living here in Leduc, AB, I finally went on my 1st deer hunt. I bagged my first deer ever (a doe) using my old warhorse Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.1* .303.
I have to say, I was pumped. She came out of the tree line in full gallop, I managed to line her up in the scope and has she jumped the fence, I pulled the trigger, and whamo, she went down like a sack of potatos; dead before she even hit the ground. I was shaking for an hour afterwards from the adrenaline. For me, it was pretty exciting.
Anyways, here's a picture....

...and my tool of choice. Savage LE No.4 Mk.1* 1942. I absolutely love this rifle. Shoots straight and has never let me down. :)

that's just awesome.... another hunter is born :D
congrats on your first deer !! and man... that's one ###y rifle ;)

Oh, I'm not a 1st time hunter, just a 1st time deer hunter.;)
I have to say, it was a blast! Much less work than caribou or moose.:p

Congrats, Orvis. I got my first two deer with a .303. I still have it and my son got his first with it as well . Unfortunately, I have acquired too many other deer guns over the years and the Lee never leaves the safe but I still remember my first hunts with it. It will do just as good a job on bucks as well so spring for another tag if you can!
