Mule deer in Idaho, New Mexico and Texas. Coastal White tail in California. Same gun, different environments. A Smith & Wesson Model of 1950 .44 Special. 240 gr. LSW cast from Lyman #2 over 7.5 grains of Unique. I've shot other animals with different guns and calibers over the years, but the first was a Mulie in the hills behind the house I lived in while growing up in Idaho. A spike buck at 50 long paces. Tasted pretty good.
In Vietnam, I used to shoot rats out at the dump past the 155 howitzers with a 1911A1. Me and my platoon sergeant had a running bet on who could shoot the most rats. Sometimes I won, sometimes I lost.
Lately, I shoot at rabbits with a handgun. A Colt Woodsman or a S&W K-22. Sometimes I hit 'em, most of the time I don't. I don't care if I do or not. Daisy the Chihuahua does, though. She likes rabbit for dinner.
