I took my first deer with a 30-30 w/ a 4x Tasco. Took a doe and a 4pt about 2 minutes apart.

Winchester 308. lever action, borrowed from a friend I was hunting with. At the time all I had was a 12ga. and he shot his buck around lunch and he took me to a field we had seen some deer in and let me use his .308 and I shot a small doe not much bigger then a dog But I sure was proud!

My first was a spike buck taken with a 6MM at about 110 yards. One of the happiest days of my life.
