Living history in an old gun.

[skeet]

But my friend from near here got a nice little forkhorn buck using the old rifle this evening within 150 yds of my house. Heard him shoot and bout 5 mins later he came up to the house and we went and dressed it out. Gotten cold 'nuff that I can let it hang in the barn for a couple of days before we cut it up. Now his wife wants to use the ol gun to try and get a deer on their place. She sees some every morning when she feeds the cows and horses. BTW it shot angle of deer at about 45-50 yds. That ol cast boolit knocked him right off'n his feet. Ain't bad for 110 yrs of age.
