I have a 96/44 also. I used it to take a 146 class whitetail at 153 yards on the marsh. I didn't drop in its tracks, but only went about 80 yards. It was before I had started handloading for .44 Rem Mag, and was using 240 gr Winchester ammunition that was really meant for a handgun. For some...
I have the Capital One/ Cabela's card and have not had an issue with it getting denied. I do occasionally receive a text from them , if I've made a large purchase. On another issue with using cards are restaurants that add 3- 3.5% to the tab for using it. For what they're charging for what I see...

Great story and congratulations on a very nice buck. I remember my father having three deer rifles in my lifetime, a Remington model 722 in .257 Roberts, a Remington model 760 in 30-06 (most of my lifetime), and a Remington model 700 Mountain Rifle in .280 for the last few years that he hunted...
I have a scope on my .41 magnum but other than that nothing on my other pistols. I've been thinking about adding something to my S&W Shield Performance Center, but not sure what yet. Since this is an early Shield the slide would have to be milled.
