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 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.

Yes Sir. It's a Dutch trade gun reproduction, circa1650(ish).

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.
