what caliber did ya use on first whitetail

Was about 1958, I was about 10...used a 1906 Winchester .22 Long Rifle. Got a nice fork horn. Shot him right between the eyes at about 30 yards. Oh man we ate good that night.
 
Mule deer with a 45/70 GG and peep sights, with a 400 gr Lyman FP loaded to 1699 fps at about 80 yards. High left. Took out the spine, DRT. First one just this past season.
 
1973 when I was a skinny 12-year-old kid. Winchester 94 in .30-30, paid for by a summer of baling hay on the farm.
