ORIGINAL: The Rifleman
One time in Pennsylvania, they had a special season on a red tag farm and you could hunt small game and deer at the same time.
I still had a deer tag and so I took my rifle.
All morning long, all I saw was pheasants.
So I took my rifle home and brought my Remington Model 1100 12 Ga.
The very first thing that I ran into - and you guessed it was a deer.
There was no time to change shells so I let it have it with all 3 shells of birdshot and it stopped the deer in its tracks.
I finished it off at close range and field dressed it and put it into my truck.
I then went back out and shot two fine looking pheasants.
All with the same gun and the same shells.
I tried hunting several times before that with a Model 94 Winchester 30 / 30 and a Model 99 Savage - 300 Savage and all I got was cold, tired and hungry.
I'm sure that if I had - to hunt with open sights that sooner or later I would have gotten one that was deaf, dumb and blind. But I could not get them if they were running like a bat out of hates, even if I had a machine gun.
I did get one doe that was gut shot and laying under a apple tree with that Model 94, but in my mind that doesn't count.
You let it have it with all three rounds of bird shot! Your'e kidding right!
