I've done this too. Happened the day before opening in camp. They all laughed at me when I said I'd take my revolver and leave the rifle at home. My iron sighted S&W M29 against a scoped 30-06. Five shot groups at 100 yards. I won the beer.

But I went one better. Opening day I made a 50 yard down hill shot at a javalina running cross wise to the line of fire. Bullet went between two ribs, through the gristle on the top of the heart, and out between two ribs. The javalina folded within three feet and I didn't spoil more than two ounces of meat. he dressed out to a nice size. The other guys had nothing to show.

It don't get any better!
