I have had a yearning for a Winchester 94 30-30 for sometime now, so I purchased one made in 1959. Now for the hard part to take a deer with the vintage rifle and cartridge Today was the day that opportunity smiled. The season is open for antlerless deer and I got my chance to connect at about 80 yards. I was easing through a sparse section of woods when I spotted my quarry feeding. The deer turned its head toward me and I raised the rifle and held as steady as possible from a free handed position and fired. The bullet enter the Neck behind the head and the deer went straight down for a very clean kill When I say a "retro deer I mean NO CAMO and blue jeans as well as a khaki work shirt and my LSU hat  _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | ||

Nice job!  Truth be known, we could all probably do most, if not all, of our hunting with a lever action 30-30.  | |||

Great job, just goes to show to show that deer can still be killed without buying the latest wonder gun/ammo/camo or technology. It ain't the equipment that makes the hunter, it is the hunter that makes the equipment work for them. Basics are always good. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

It was probably the hat that did it.  xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Thats pretty cool!  Every year I think about taking my m-1 or my 03-a3 after a deer or even an elk. Maybe next year! Imagine how big of a buck you could have gotten if you had a Bama hat!!!! | |||

Very nice. However, I think to be truly retro you should have donned a red/black plaid flannel or wool shirt. _____________________ A successful man is one who earns more money than his wife can spend. | |||

WHAT!!...You couldn't possibly have killed that deer without wearing the latest in ultra 3D cammo/coverscent/$5000customrifle/widgetoftheweek...haha. Well done sir. Congratulations. The Hunt goes on forever, the season never ends. I didn't learn this by reading about it or seeing it on TV. I learned it by doing it. | |||

You talking about the team LSU beat in their home stadium. Is that the one you are talking about? Is it? _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||

You mean you can still kill a little ole whitetail without a mk19 shooting Tipped quadruple shock barnes grenades with a gargantulan scope the size of a big telescope, and none of that no smell me stuff, and the latest greatest $300 dollar super duper scent blocker 4d special effects camo, and with some purple hat on. Not only that but you accomplished this with some kind of antique rifle with a trajectory about like a rainbow. Who would of thought it "Science only goes so far then God takes over." | |||
