well, i can tell you this... a 20 guage will knock em flat.
Sure would, compared to the Winchester 1400 SA I decided to take with me today, without bullets. I managed to scrape up 1 slug and 2 BS, had a hell of a lot of 20 gauge shells.
I took mike up to my spot today, we jumped a buck - i ran diagnoly was sure i turned the safty up, buck stopped perfectly in front of me, and trigger wouldent budge - i was lined up on the heart almost immediatley, ****ty. Seen seven deer today - 1 fawn 4 doe 2 buck -
So by the time i looked down at the gun to get the safty off, it had taken off and mike began his chase, mike stopped the deer stopped - 110 yards. Immediatley after mike shot another gun went off somewhere, guy in a climbing treestand using a muzzleloader - Both missed.
I had the perfect freakin shot, i couldent believe myself. Used my one slug on a Large Doe - Miss > 95 yards - overshot by like a foot ( could see it in the tree, guessing about a foot )
Immediatley after the miss on the doe, well she stared at me for a while, didnt even budge when i shot, haha what a trooper.. she had another deer behind her - couldent see what it was so it didnt count.
I didnt even make it 100 yards after my shot before 4 deer came running down the slope and disappeared before i could make it to the ridge quietly to get a clean shot. Not to mention extremely low visability due to thiiiiick fluffy snow with nearly no wind throughout the whole day.
Theres always tomorrow!
LOL i learned the hardway to always, always copy my post before hitting submit/ok whatever!
