1873 Sprinfield...

[tac]

An old friend has one of the infantry rifles, last used by some militia or nat guard unit during the Span-Am War... he has resisted all offers and inveiglements for it, but once a firearm has entered his gun closet it's a case of "Abandon hope, ye who enter here". He still takes mule deer with it. In fact there was one season when he took TWO deer, as the bullet entered and exited and struck the animal next to it...

I sure hope he'd pulled a double tag for that one...

Dun sez: "Two deer with one shot, ya don't see THAT ever day!" Not sure how he resolved it but likely one of the other guys with him tagged it. The meat didnt get wasted in any event.
