My first gun was an H&R 410. I only killed a few bushy tail with it and that is about it. I never killed a deer with it, but I scared the crap out of a few. Once I had one deer that I shot at about 5 times with slugs. Limbs falling all around the deer and it just stood there wondering what was going on. I finally quit shooting and said, "Get outa here!" Looking back that is one of my craziest memories from hunting. I quess the deer knew it was safe as long as it stood still.
