1873(?) Springfield trap-door 45/70,,,

1873(?) Springfield trap-door 45/70,,,
I took a deer with one when I was 14 years old.

The shot was a bit under 100 yards,,,
Little 4-point buck went down immediately.

I can't tell you how many squirrels, rabbits, and rats I took with an 189? Winchester pump chambered for .22 short.

That was my very first fiery-arm.

fox with a hammer Husqvarna 16 gauge, hence my name
first "game" I took,
had shot rats and magpies/crows before
the old man I hunted with only gave me one shell because he only wanted me to take a sure shot

or an roedeer with a sauer drilling

both probably around 100years old
