Deer bear elk cougar
I’ve shot a few deer with a .50, and one with a .45. I only shot one squirrel with the .50 and that was because he was bothering me in my stand. It’s fun to shoot armadillo at night after a good rain. I did take a turkey with that .50, but it was a shot of opportunity. I was working in the barn and saw him on the edge of the field. I crept up into the loft, opened the door , and while I was aiming for center mass I got him right through his craw. Great shot I only sometimes take credit for…
I only went bear huntin once, drivin to the hunting spot , we came to a bend in the road and a sign sayin Bear left, so we went home,, that was years ago lol

I hunt deer and hogs. West Tennessee has enough of both that they’re considered a nuisance. The hogs are tough enough that we have a lot of guys locally that that still prefer .54 over .50 as an all around gun (myself included) and I know of at least one gentleman who prefers a .58.

You'll have to excuse my naivety, is that a doglock?
Yes Sir. It's a Dutch trade gun reproduction, circa1650(ish).

Paper and used shotgun shells....
When I was younger I hunted most everything. I used a smooth bore for bird hunting, Dove and Quail seasons as well as rabbits. A rifle for mostly deer hunting. Although if I use a blind the smoothbore is good for deer too. But nowadays it is feral or wild pigs hunting.
Squirrels and empty gallon jugs.
Quail, Squirrel, prairie dog, ground hog, javalina, wild hog, deer, elk, buffalo, and bear unsuccessfully. I once killed a wasp only because I was under attack and could not abide him any longer.
