A 16 gauge Winchester model 12 shooting #1 buckshot.

We were running dogs and jumped a decent little buck. Another fella missed him 5 times and we cut him on the next crossing. He had probably 10 head of high strong walkers on him and he just stepped out in the old logging road and stopped. I guess it was meant to be. I shot one time and hit him pretty good. He ran about 50-60 yards and piled up.

That day solidified a love of running dogs I still have to this day.


May the sound of hounds never die!
