Fresh back from Vietnam I went to buy a deer rifle. Went into a hardware store and there was the prettiest Winchester 94 I'd ever seen. It was a Teddy Roosevelt Commemorative carbine. Bought it and hunted with it a couple of years, then realized it was too flashy in the woods, and was supposed to be a collector gun. Started camo taping it and have used it to kill every deer I have ever killed with a modern gun. Hex barrel, extremely accurate. Open sights. Oldest grandson has dibs on it when I pass on.

Those things kick like a mule but you can kill a whole field full of deer with them! As fast as you can shoot ‘em.

Good memories around old firearms are what makes them special.
I also have a '94 - a 1956 model - belonged to my sister who is now deceased... love that old gun.

Great pic and story.

The 94 front and center in this pic is in my safe now. Was my grandfathers (in this pic from 1939), he gave it to my dad in 1960, who gave it to me in 1991.

Got my first deer with it that year. I try to get it out in the woods every few years.

great story to your old rifle. you gotta love them old lever guns with a history. it just feels right to carry one in the woods.i got more deer rifles than I could use in several seasons but I never go to deer camp without a lever gun. killed a nice doe with mine a week ago today. congrats on a nice buck.

Great story.
I have my Dads 94 and a pic of him with it on his first deer hunt, shortly after his 16th birthday in 1955. They will be my sons when he is old enough to appreciate and take care of them. Dad only got to be with AJ(my son) for a few years before he passed, but AJ was Grandpa's little buddy.

I love looking at the old photo's so cool. Been asking family trying to find a pic of my Grand Father with his old 94. The only photo I have with myself and my grand father is the one below from early 1960s. It was taken when we were clearing the spot where my dad build his cottage. I'm the little guy in the pic leaning on the ax, left of our grampa. Other two are my older brothers. I'm not sure if the ax I have is my dad's or grand fathers? I still have both those axes though.
The other pic is my grand father model 94 Winchester in 32-40 which I now have. Next to it is my fathers Model 94 that I shot this years deer with. Grampa's 94 I'm told was made in 1920 or 21 my Dad's was made in I believe 1940's. I haven't looked up the serial numbers yet and really nailed it down. I'm told Grampa's 94 was considered a true rifle so explains it being longer, Dad's 94 is a carbine.

I love these stories. I have my grandfathers 12 ga side by side. I have many old guns as I have collected them for years. Without a doubt my grandfathers old gun has the most value to me. If the house was a fire and I could only save one item that old double barrel would be it. If it could only talk. It is well know to my family that gun goes to my oldest grandson. He has spent many days with me on the trapline and hunting.

I enjoyed seeing the old pictures and guns. Especially the old 1894 in 32-40 caliber. I first deer hunted with a burrowed 32-40 from our neighbor in Missouri where I grew up. I have several 32-40's in my collection. Winchester still makes 32-40 brass and Graf & Sons from Mexico Mo. still sells loaded ammo.


Happy Thanksgiving to all my Trapperman brothers and sisters and thanks for the memories.

Hey, Mac!

Nice story, nice shot and nice photo!

I saw this earlier over Kerry's shoulder but didn't get a chance to reply. I just saved a copy of that photo on my computer so we have that nice picture of you.

Congratulations, Buddy!

Great story. My first deer rifle was a model 94. Killed my first buck with it. Sold it because of the exposed hammer, but wish I still owned it.
