Winchester Model 1200 with #1 Buckshot. It was 1977 drive hunting with dogs close to Plantersville, AL. Seven point came walking in from behind; headed into the drive with people and dogs making all sorts of racket. It was my time and his. I can still see him in the morning sun like it was yesterday.

You remember the swimming hole on Majors creek called the Zero Hole? Used to run dogs in the woods across that bridge. And further up the road, before 59, my Mom's family had some land too. Mom is a Hadley.

1994, a doe and bobcat in the same day, was 7 years old. Shot them in Michigan on my uncles property. Used my dads Remington woods master in 30-06.

Killed my first deer in 1968 ( weren't many around back then, at least not where I hunted). Killed a 7 point with a 12 gauge SXS double barrel using 00 buckshot on a dog drive. Looking back, it rolled up after the first shot and I'm now sure it was dead, but I shot it again anyway cause it was wiggling a little bit and I was REAL excited. Would have probably shot it a third time but I only had 2 shells !

MARLIN 336 30-30

Kilt my first with a .270 when I was 13. It was the first deer I had ever seen while hunting, and I had hunted 6 years before seeing that one. He stepped out into a field head-on and I didn't even wait for him to get broadside. I threw the gun up and shot him right through the chest and the bullet exited out one of his butt cheeks. He dropped like a stack of bricks. He was a fun one to clean as you can imagine.
