Antelope in Wyoming - Grandfather's Sprinfield 1903 in 30.06
Rabbits - .22
Quail - 12g
Dove - 12g
whitetail deer - 2001 Dodge Ram coming back from Dove hunting (didn't want hime to suffer so he was finished off by the same 12g used to harvest the Doves, by the way for anyone that says #8 birdshot won't kill a deer... They are wrong!)

Some guys in Baghdad hunted me:
107mm rockets - several occasions, most notably 28 April 2008 (PM me and I can send you a link to the video they took!)
7.62mm AK - 11 August 2008.
Thankfully these guys apparently do not zero their weapons very well or at all.

Bought me a tractor last weekend. It didn't have a seat and it didn't have a steering wheel. Works great for me since I lost my butt farming and don't know which way to turn.

Had to laugh Cool Hand. No idea how many 223 rounds I fired but have no idea whether I personally hit anything. We didn't often hang around to field dress or mount anything. S&W 38 in my bug out bag and point man with a boomer. Also no idea whether I hit anything. Our general goal was to get back without pissing anybody off. RUN FORREST RUN!!

22-more jackrabbits than I can count as a kid. I'm not mad at them anymore.

22 with calibri's: tree rats in town

30-06- old sporterized Eddystone arsenal: Mule deer, whitetails, antelope and elk. It has been my hunting gun since 1966.

38/40 1873 Winchester: one whitetail.

pre 64 Win 30-30: mule deer and whitetails

222 Remington: 3 or 4 Whitetails

various 12 ga shotguns for turkey, dove and quail

9mm S&W: one turkey hen that messed up and ran into a bullet.

old 22 mag: my depradation permit gun for long billed birds around ponds

Chopping hoe, rocks and long sticks for rattle snakes around the house, barn and ponds. Those things make me hurt myself.

Heck, there is probably more. Some I probably shouldn't post about.
