I have shot deer, hogs, javalina, Bison with a doublel in the states..Normally I don't hunt this side of the pond with a double, prefering to use my Lever actions in 30-30 and 25-35 for such deeds, guess it takes me back to my cowboy misspent youth..It just feels good to shoot a buck for a clean kill with the little 25-35, with which I killed my first some odd number of deer and my first three elk with, and cleanly I might add.....
