How many weapons have you taken a deer with ?

16 ga Ithaca 37, 12 ga Rem 870, 12 ga Marlin M512, Bear polar LTD compound, Jennings compound, Alpine Compound, T/C Omega 50 cal ML, Ruger M77 .30/06, Barnett Recruit x-bow, Buck 110 lock folder knife, Buck mini lock folder knife.  (The last two were used on deer that were initially struck by cars. The one with the small 1-1/4" blade was wide awake and nearly back to 100% when I slit it's Jugular.). That makes 11 total, but it should be an even dozen.   Back when in-lines were illegal during ML season, I shot at a buck with a traditions Fox-River 50, sidelock ML, but the charge did not ignite and he escaped.   The inline T/C solved that issue and killed every deer I shot at with it.   The Bear compound broke and I lost the little knife, but I still have the rest and still use them except for the other compounds (I don't have  time to get into shape with those any more).

I am also thankful to have never killed one with a vehicle, but I was a passenger twice in vehicles which killed them and I have been the lucky recipient of many that others have struck, two of which I dispatched with the knifes.  I have got pretty good at dodging them myself, which is not too difficult with my newer car because it almost stops on a dime.  It is a little trickier with my old 3/4 ton pickup.  Thankfully I only drive that when it snows and that is not too often lately. I have to drive thru an infested area every weekday to and from work,

My first was actually a doe.  Then I got my first buck last day of gun.  Both with the same gun.  In fact I still have two slugs from the first 5 pack I bought so I'm still good for this year.  I added a bow this year so I'm excited to get out earlier and my tag just showed up today in the mail.

Thought you said JC killed them all?

I certainly had his help with all of them.   If he knows where every sparrow falls then he surely knows what deer are destined for deer heaven (my family's food supply).   I was just fortunate to be in the right place at the right time a hundred or so times to help him carry out his will.
