I bagged my first ever deer with my Dads old Krag back in November. He bought the rifle from a pawn shop in Waco, TX right out of boot camp, and took it home to Oregon with him on Christmas leave. I  have a pic of him in this Army uniform, holding the rifle and standing next to a deer he took with it.

I had been doing some pig hunting recently with a neighbor, and got an invite to go for deer, so I decided to take the Krag as I had been doing some target shooting with it.

I took a mature Doe at about 90 yds right at sunset. She ran about 50 yds and flopped over.

And with that I closed the loop my Dad started back in '42. Took 3/4 of a Century, but I got'r done!
