That buck killing story sure drags on longer than it should. Plus I gather you are saying you shot him with a .44 Mag but it sure would have been nice if you had just said so a little closer to the action.
Bell writes of dropping cormorants as they flew over a lake .....he was using up a lot of ammunition that had too many duds to be trusted in a hunt. The birds were pretty far off, over 100 yards I'm sure... some guy came up and asked him what type of shotgun he was using that allowed him to reach out that far - which was of course his rifle.
