My first ever Airgun kill (whitetail deer)

So I got my first every kill with my airgun today here in Arkansas. I bought a Texan SS 457 from a member here and finally got to put it to use.
I've hunted with the gun several days, but didn't get a real chance to take a deer until today. She came out about 100yds from me and was workign her way to me. I decided to stretch her out and took an 85 yd shot. It sounded like you hit her with a sledge hammer. She turned and kind of trotted off and slipped into the woods. I hear her go down from there.
I'm very impressed with this gun.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I'd been trying to take a buck with it but figured I'd take the shot. I'm pretty impressed with this thing... cant wait to so it again!

Congrats on your first's Joey! First deer harvest and first AG kill ever, and what an AG kill it was! That is a beautiful doe and you took it cleanly at a good distance out. The Texan was built for exactly this type of hunting.
It is not legal to take big game here with an AG, so I feel like I am hunting along with you guys through your stories
NICE JOB!!!

Nice! Getting a deer with an airgun was on my list of things to do this year. Looks like it’ll have to be 2019 now, bought too many other guns and not a big bore.

Nice shot. Congratulations on the 1st kill with the new rifle. Where did you hit it (looking at pic on phone and is kind of hared to tell)?
I really like that Texan SS and wanted to buy one last month but the production was months behind and hard to find used.
