1922 Manufactured Winchester 94 Deer Hunt

[Bule Jagter]

Here's a video of my hunt for a tall 7 point buck with my great-grandfather's Winchester 1894, which he purchased new in 1922. When Indiana changed the law to allow for this and several other rifle calibers to be used for deer hunting on private property, I took my cherished Winchester thirty feet up a tree on my property so I could continue the family tradition of hunting deer with this rifle.

Nicely done!…. Always nice to see old guns in the field.

Thanks. It’s my favorite rifle and I am extremely happy to have had the opportunity to continue the family tradition of hunting deer with it. Now that it’s turned 100 years old, I hope to shoot at least one more deer with it.

Thanks for sharing! Were you in a climbing stand?

I might have missed it in the video, but would you mind sharing the ammo/load?

Yes, I used a Tree Lounge climbing stand. I have two of them, and I love them.
