    Double header on Mule deer about 10 12 ft.

    Blacktail- long bow, 6 yards
    Blacktail 300 WSM 130gr TTSX at 3500FPS 7 yards
    Black bear 45 Colt 10 feet
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    13 feet uphill on 60 degree slope with 150 grains from the old 30-30. It was a huge bodied 3x3 muley that dressed 220lbs. I had to dodge him as he cartwheeled right at me and piled up in the tree beside where I had shot from. It was a halloween buck, nose to the ground. I didn't realize quite how big he was until I got to the bottom of the ridge and tried to pull him up the other side.

    Few wt and bt with rifle inside ten feet, few bt with shotgun inside ten feet. Buckshot in the face at that distance is quite effective
    The only advantage to a light rifle is it's weight, all other advantages go to the heavier rifle..

    Alaskan 58” moose. Arrowed at 3’ virtually straight UP into the chest. I was standing in the water alongside the river bank. My buddy called him past me using a caribou shoulder blade to bear on the willows. I could have grabbed the bulls front foot as he walked past on the river bank.

    BC Grizzly arrowed at 13 yards. After the arrow hit his chest he growled, spun around and in 3 bounds crossed 2 yards from us...2 seconds max. Most exciting moment I’ve ever had bowhunting. Moments later had to spook his sow off that was standing 15 yds away wondering what the heck happened to him...why did he bug off? She left without issue. Had adrenaline in my system for several days after that one!
