First whitetail deer I took as a young teen hunter was with a old Winchester Mod 74 22 long rifle. It was legal back then an I fired once an followed the blood trail as I was taught. Fired once more when I saw the young buck standing about 30 meters away.

Albeit small deer it can be done with accurate firearm an knowledge of the wild game your after or in the area you recreate in.

Stay Safe !!!

wild hogs down here in Florida are abundant. I would NOT try to take one of them with a 22. They’d be apt to eat you for pissen them off.
