35/30 does it.

i was hunting a 10 pt whitetail(which i didn't get, either archery or rifle season) so my story is short. i passed up smaller bucks and does on my "hopes" of getting him. since i already have two deer(dad got a 8 pt and doe) in the freezer, i let my doe tags go to the last day. naturally, it was raining Saturday(last day), so i either had choice to go to my stand and put up an umbrella or i could go to my shop, open up the back doors and watch it rain on the hopes of getting a deer. i choose my stand instead. two hours later and soaked(despite umbrella), i was about to give up and call it season, when she showed up. i was thinking she would fit in my freezer quite nicely, so my win m94/williams fp sights in 35/30(JES Reboring) lined her up and sent a 200gr fn gc(bullshop) over 20.0gr of 2400/dacron going 1726fps from the muzzle. 30+/- yards away, she got my message and ran about 15 - 20 yards till she gave up the ghost. my message was behind the shoulder, broke one rib, took out the lungs and then it exited with another rib. the exit wound was about 3/4"+/- and didn't blood shot any meat. 

then i called my brother and he gutted it(thank you says the cripple) and drug it out to my polaris ranger. i was quite pleased with the deer hoist. it took my deer off the ground and my brother was pleased when i got it to the truck. just back her up, put the hind quarters in the truck bed  and crank her down. smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TPBUW0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1   best $80 i spent. 

i still have late archery season to get the 10 pt, but its sooooooooooo cold outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
