Shot the doe with my 444P and the 300 gr. Ranch Dog bullet. The coyote was killed with a Marlin converted to 38-55 using the Ranch Dog 235 gr. FN bullet.

WOW!!!! What kind of powder are you using in that .444P? Looks like you didn't even have to gut it.

Sorry...I didn't think to take a picture before I gutted it out. I know it's a little graphic, especially being cut in half. Being by myself, I had to use a pack frame to pack it out, one-half at a time.

I got a bull moose with my 1895 in 45-70. He dressed out at 620 pounds. Not a monster, but 325 pounds in the freezer of real good eating.

1894 357 mag.  Took two Indiana deer, first was a 140 lb whitetail doe at approx 20 yards, bang flop and a 120 lb 4 point at approx 30 yards, he was standing at an angle, bullet entered halfway between the ribs and hind quarter and exited by opposite shoulder.  Ran 40 yards and piled up.  Both weights were with a scale and after field dressing.  Doe was a lot of fun to drag the 200 yards to the truck.  Got to love the 357.  Sorry, no pics...

Doe with the Glenfield 30, 30-30.  15 yds.   Deep snow and cold temps holding them tight. Third for the year, all does.  Only one with the 30.  Others with a H&R Buffalo Classic and a Knight T-bolt.
This is the day the Lord has made.  I choose to rejoice and be glad in it.

     Last day of buck season nice 8pt whitetail 14" spread running hard at me with a 1895  45-70 scoped with a 4 power leupould First shot 60 yrds, second shot 50 yrds after running past me.   Tracked it for 200 yrds with very little blood. Jumped it in the brush and had to put one up the tail pipe for finish shot. First shot was back through lung and out the lower stomach, the intestine had completly plugged the hole, missed with second shot (over lead the deer). Bullet had hit one lung on the way through and the chest cavity had filled with blood. just goes to show you, to follow up a deer you shot at, even if you think you may have missed. Also a low power scope is hard to beat when things kick into high gear.
