I'm not sure if anyone remembers me or not. I have not been on here in almost a year. I bought a Herny "BigBoy" last year to hunt with. It's a 45 long colt..open sights. Last year was a bust....didn't even see a deer. Well this year was different. Saw more deer and got my first deer with the Henry. It was an 8 point! I had a 4 piont walk up behind me but he winded me and took off...that was good. About 10 minutes later the 8 point walked up. I don't hunt out of a stand. I walk and stand. The 8 point knew I was there but could not smell me. I waiting him out and he finally started walking with his side to me. I waited until he passed a brush pile and then shot. I was only about 25 yard from him. He dropped and never moved. So I guess the 45 long colt works well on deer. I wish I had pics but the ones we took didn't turn out very well.

Congratulations on your first deer!! Very exciting isn't it.

Congrats on your first deer!

Yea...it's very exciting. I was very calm when I was getting ready to shoot and was calm after I shot. It was when I walked up to the deer...that was when I started shaking...lol. It's a feeling you can't decribe.

Congrats!!!! Did you get pics????

Congrats

Congrats, welcome to the fellowship of addicts. Post the pics, someone may be able to edit them to be more visible.

That is pretty exciting, a handgun buck!!! Congrats!!

Allen...handgun round but fired from a rifle. The Henry "Bigboy" is a lever action rifle with a octagon barrel and a brass receiver. It's a very sweet shooting rifle!!

Congrats!
