Toyota Camry ! ? On the same permit or a different one ! The only road kill I have got with my Toyota Tundra is a recent skunk so far ! [ No doubt about that one  } Just missed a nice buck coming back from Lake Erie walleye fishing in my Ford van pulling a boat years ago !

[sherman brown]

my first was with a very old savage 16 ga with homemade sights.

second was a CVA kit gun 50 cal that gun killed several deer'

my next was a CVA double barrel 12 gouge with 690 round ball

many with my CVA double barrel 50 cal.

somewhere in here i got a few with a mossberg 12 gauge auto loader.

gor more than a few with savage, traditions, and white muzzleloaders

used a bow for a few yrs but only killed 2.

several with my Thompson encore 50 cal.

hunted with a CVA accura v2 but didnt have much luck.

went back to the encore after the CVA was stolen, got a few more.

i'm now hunting with a 45 cal CVA accura long range. but i only hunted 1 year with it.

all my deer came off public land. this yr will be 40 yrs deer hunting.

Sherman takes me back some into 1964 and just married:

FIRST DEER in my life in NH with my new Marlin RC 336 30/30 lever action with a Williams peep sight, and she saw the deer first !

Every deer since in NY with my 1964 REM 870 Wingmaster 20Ga 3" mag pump. Shortened smooth bore with a Polychoke on slug. A Williams peep sight for the Brenneke  Magnums.  A light gun in any woods with silky action and a tack driver way out there.

Mrs loves her Winchester 12 Ga. pump 1300XTR Mag. with 2-3/4 Brenneke.

ALL GOOD, but only hunt uphill now, with some wicked nice memories.

If you had to pick ONE gun what would it be ?

My CVA Accura V2 50 cal.  It gets you the longest amount of time in the woods.  You can use it during regular gun, late muzzleloader and now the holiday hunt.  They flat out knock deer down too!
