<p>Thanks Joel. It was a pretty easy shot. I had the rifle braced and aimed a little in front of the deer. When he walked into my crosshairs, I fired. it was only about a 75 yard shot.</p>
<p>I really like the Handi Rifles too. I have fired my .30-06 19 times at deer and coyotes. With those 19 shots I have put down 17 deer and two coyotes. The deer ranged from 25 to 175 yards. The two coyotes were at 50 and 75 yards.</p>

<p>I have a second Handi Rifle. I have two barrels for it. One barrel is a .357 magnum and the other is a .50 caliber muzzleloader. I have killed three deer with the .50 cal. The longest shot with the muzzleloader was 150 yards.</p>

The bed tilts down in the back and I just grab the deer and slide him onto the trailer. When I get back to the truck I just back the trailer up to the truck bed. It is relatively easy then to drag the deer into the truck bed.<br/> <br/> <cite>Jan Carter said:</cite></p>

<p>I suspect he was heading to his bedding area. He probably wanted to die in bed with his boots off. But he didn't make it. But seriously if I could have got him at the first opportunity it would have made it a lot easier for me. I have found, at least in my experience, that if they don't drop when shot, they run in the same direction they are facing.

But he was moving toward the fence obviously with the intent of jumping back onto the adjoining property when I shot him.</p>
