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.

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 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 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.
