95% of my deer were taken with a Remington 1100. 1 with a Ruger Blackhawk 357, 2 with 45 Colt Blackhawk, and a few with a Hawking .54 muzzleloader. The 1st was my grandpa’s old Stevens 12gauge pump that was broken, but still kinda functioned. It was all I had at the time. My brother has it now, been fixed. Here in Illinois, no rifles, or I’d be using an assortment of 94’s, 86’s and 76’s.
