Biggest Game You've Taken?

[AtlatlMan]

What's the biggest, and possibly meanest, critter you've ever taken with a smoke pole?

 

[NorthFork]

Black bear.

 

[Fatboyz]

Wasn’t mean but I’ve shot several bull moose with my TC Hawken, 54 cal percussion.

 

[Bushfire]

Buffalo bull

 

[Freedom]

Let's "See" those big critters!

Come on boys, show them pictures(!) or didn't happen.. LOL

 

[upperplains]

Nothing big or mean where I'm at, just deer.

 

[tenngun]

Elk for me, could get mean

 

[ETipp]

Elk with my .50 New Englander. The only pictures I have are hard copies. Where we lived out west in the big mountains we had no cell service so we didn't have cell phones.

[Polecat_Tom]

Prairie dog. Not much left to take a picture of after hitting it with a .715 ball.

That’ll teach the little rodent.

To be frank with you, the 3 I've killed (1 with longbow and 2 with muzzleloader) were very, VERY anticlimactic. I prefer the adrenaline rush of deer hunting.

Surely that would depend on the hunt. I’d love to stalk a bear from the ground with a flintlock. To be honest even a centrefire would be fun doing it that way…but not as much.

 

[SOLANCO]

Wild hog. ML was good. Taking the first with lance was a tougher challenge.

 

[appalichian hunter]

Deer here. Although did shoot a ground hog with the 32 it was pretty close range maybe 15 feet just walking along and there it was, I was between him and his hole, snapshot just winged him didn't have time to re-load and wasn't going to risk breaking a stock, and the fight was on, thank God I had on a good pair of leather boots. I eventually won but let tell ya a wounded groundhog isn't nothing to mess with.

They were over 55 gal drums of bait in thick impenetrable thickets. No stalking possible. Tracking after the shot was difficult.
