my dad used to have an old 35 wheelin he bought for elk huntin in colorado. he kept it for a few years after that to use as his whitetail gun. and to keep from ruinin the meat he just shot them in the neck. he got to where he could shoot them in the neck at 200-300 yds. he still swears to this day that, that old 35 wheelin was the best gun he ever owned.
