First and last?

This thread is inspired by a thread on CGN. What gun was your first deer harvested with? What was your latest deer shot with? My first was taken with my Grandfathers 1954 Winchester 30/30 in 1998, just 2 months before he passed away. His house was my first stop on the way home, he even helped skin it. My latest was this past fall, a little spike buck fell to my Gunsite Scout in .308.

My first was with an Excalibur 335 micro and my last was taken this past fall with a Sako Bavarian Carbine in 270 win.

First Deer was shot with Remington 742 in .308 shooting blue box Federal. Last Deer was shot with Sako A7 in .30-06 shooting Federal Barnes Tripple Shok.

First was in the controlled hunt in 70 with a Browning BPS and cantilever rifled barrel. Timeline +/- 2000

Last 2 deer (2018) 63A with a Benelli R1 270wsm. Then in controlled hunt in 70 again, Savage 220. Those 220s are accurate. Paired with a 2-7 Nikon BDChttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d21e3d73b4.jpg

Crisbow Cheetah got my first, a small doe. My last was last year with a 1915 Lee Enfield Sporter in 303 British in the wet snow, brought the beater out rather than the nice guns.

First deer 1956 shot with .410 shooting slugs, last deer 2018, .257 Roberts 117 gr. ballistic silvertip

First deer was with a Winchester Model 1907 in .351 Winchester.

My last was with my 1957 Marlin 336A DL in .30-30 Ackley Improved.


Except for two deer with a Ruger Hawkeye in .257 Roberts, all my deer were taken with my old Browning A-Bolt in .280 Remington.

First deer was with a 270 loaner, no idea what it was

Last deer was with browning x-bolt medallion 308

First deer many years ago [1960 ] was with a model 70 Win. in .243 cal, the last was with a Savage Smokeless M.L. IN .50 in 2017 , with many others between in .32 Win Spcl. A.I. in a Win. model 94 , 7mm mag. cust. built, and my Kit built .54 cal Hawken type.

First in 1984 with a 1980 .444 marlin. 265 grain Remington. Last same rifle, same load. And no, it's not the same deer - there were more than a few in between.
