He was using a Mossberg Patriot youth 243. A difficult stationary side shot at 10 yards on the back of the shoulder. Deer ran about 40 feet then crashed. Good times!
I strapped it to the top of a tiny Chevy Spark clown car. The first hard right turn I took, dumped blood all down the driver side, and my window was open. Not pretty. Things still went ok until I went to the DNR check station to get my son his patch. It was a big doe. They said 5-7 years old. They cut the head off it. It was tied to my car around the head. The deer half fell off car at the I-69/127S exit. I had to stop, and had a cute state police girl help me tie it back on, not using the missing head. Got it home, and my filipino wife who is an expert at skinning goats, took it from there... Good times.
