Not going to post a pic, sorry, but I got my first air gun deer this weekend with an Air Force Texan suppressed .357. 26 yd shot with a 155 gr hollow point did the trick on a young doe. She went maybe 70 yds and dropped.
It was a quartering to shot broke a couple of ribs going in and exited behind the last rib on the far side. Bucket list item checked off.

Thanks everyone and especially Shaky Sarge for loaning me his Texan so I had the opportunity. What a great thing for me to be able to do it was something I never thought would happen.
