I shot a doe with with my .357 Marlin one time. I was about 14 and wanted a challenge, so went and sat in a bow stand in a greenfield one afternoon. Doe got to about 30 yds and I popped her in the neck. Believe I fired 9 shots and hit her 6 or 7 times before she made it out of the field. Came up on her tracking a few hours later still alive, shot her a few more times, then had to finish her off with a knife. The numbers are fuzzy, but I hit that deer either 9 or 11 times.
