What did you kill your first Big Game with?
Mine was a small antlered but huge bodied 8 Point with a Winchester 94 30-30. I can remember it like yesterday, I was sitting on a large rock about 500 yrds above where our cabin is now. It was very dry but the Deer managed to get within 25 ft of me and I never knew it until he jumped an old fence my Great Grand Pa had cattle in at one time. He jumped the fence and there is a Hemlock tree there which hid me. He was so close I didnt aim, hit him in the ribs, then he began to run and I aimed and put him down. I wish I still had that Winchester, I think O traded it for a Marlin 39AS with a scope.

My first kill was a small buck with my 71 Mach I mustang, the red rubber coated bumper seemed to gently lift "Rudolph" till his foot became entangled in one of the hood scoops and he made solid contact with my DOT approved windshield.[V] 0 -

I still remember the first slug I ever fired through the old Ithaca.
