One More For The 1877
It is nice to shoot big animals, but that isn't always the quest. I waited 5 years to get this rifle and now that I got it, I have used it on several animals this fall. Today was a small 4 point mule deer buck.
I spotted it and several other does feeding in an open field, then moving into the sage hills to escape the wind. After about a mile of sneaking and crawling through some cactus, I was able to close the gap to 208 yards and smoke this buck in his bed. He had no idea I was anywhere around and with just the one shot, killed him in his bed...

And the caliber was?
there is no such thing as a miss if you still have ammo
