You can almost fill in the blank between an arrow and the 45-70 and I have killed a deer with it. I have killed way into the hundreds of deer. I helped as a control hunter on a big farm where me and another fellow took 100 deer each year for 15 years. This past year was a very slow year for me and I killed 8 deer using rifles in 264 win mag, 308 win, 25-06, and a 6mm-225 win contender pistol. I only get to hunt 3 weeks a year now.

Hey Oldshooter!
No problem, I took it as a joke!
Keep the good humor going, I need it!!


You got me beat if you have tagged them with the 44 mag. I have a SRH in the 44 Mag and it is a tack driver, but have not had the opportunity to use it on deer as of yet.
I hope Matt happens to read my post here! I responded to your post last night but it did not pop up tonight! Also when I tried to open the forum tonight I could not as it said "Forbidden" to open this sigte due to a code 404! What ever that means!! I had to do alot of acrobatics to get on to the GBO tonight, so hope this one makes it!! ::)
