First Air gun Deer

[WIMPOD]

After several years I've finally come across a buck worthy to be the first deer taken with my .357 cal Benji Bulldog. Using the nosler 147gr. pellet. When I came back to the house to get the trailer, the wife said she didn't hear the shots. Called my son and he brought the whole family over to help me remove it from the woods. It was a great time for the grand kids. Thank goodness Georgia is an Air Gun friendly state.

WIMPOD Good job. How far was the shot?

What’s that’s cool! Those air guns are something I know nothing about. How far can you effectively kill a deer with one of those?

WIMPOD Good job. How far was the shot?

It was paced out at 52 yards. He went about 45 yards, he was just standing there barely breathing, put another one in him and he fell 15 yards away. Second shot went through the heart. No blood though on entry or exit wounds.

It'll depend 100+ with the right ones. In all my life with rifle, shotgun, bow, pistol, now airgun, I have never shot a deer past 75 yards (pistol). With my Bulldog, I wouldn't want to go much further than I did.

Love the air gun! Plenty of awesome evidence that they work! People using them on buffalo and every critter in Africa! Congrats on a gorgeous buck!
