Man, there's been a BUNCH of deer killed with that old school camo pattern!!
One Christmas, I got an insulated coverall in that pattern, and I already had a dove vest to match.
It was a big deal.
Thanks for bringing it back!

Yep, around 1999 I was getting bored with hunting. I felt like a sentry on guard duty, if a deer came by I killed it.
I had killed deer with Longbow and Hawken and had killed two with .41 Mag Blackhawk and I really enjoyed those hunts.
I bought a Contender and have really liked it and sitting on the ground more.
If I hunt with a rifle anymore it is something different,special or unique.

Congratulations on your first handgun deer. I hope it's the first of many.

.45 LC is my all time favorite for hogs and deer. Big hole lets the air in and the blood out. Easy to get a matching lever gun if you want to Cowboy Up. Reloading is the way to go with this old cartridge to make it a real thumper.

Nice shooting It bet that doe was dead right there. Hit like a sledge hammer.
