Marlin Model 1894 44 magnum carbine. Killed a buck with it on November 1. It doesn' t take a lot to kill a deer if you do your part and place your bullet well. My 44 went through both lungs.

Well, I' m done with deer for this year, but I used a Rem .243 100gr.
I always use either that or S&W 12ga with 00buck.

.30-06
12 gauge
.357

just curious, why would anyone use 00 buckshot on a deer. it seems like it would just ruin the animal.

I hunt alot of areas that are really thick and brushy. Most of the deer I' ve shot have been between 6 and 30 feet away. At real close range, buckshot does alot less damage than my rifle. Alot of guys here hunt with buckshot.
