My first was a small doe about 6 yrs ago. Third dayof season. Had already killed a nice buck on first day with 444 malin lever. Sitting in tree stand, small doe came by about 15 yds. I decided was perfect opportunity for handgun shot. Made a nice clean shot through both lungs and she piled up pretty quick. silver dollar size backstraps for supper that nite at camp. yeah i know i shouldn't have shot such a small deer. However I was elated and will never forget it. 45 BH with ( as memory serves me correctly) a 265 gr wfn at 1360 fps chronied. Alll the guys at camps said i should be using hp loads. I loved showing them the wound channel about the size of a golf ball thru the ribs. shot clear thru with no bullet recovery. Will never forget it.
