Hey guys, sitting here thinking about this last hunting season, and the fun I had. I didn't get to do any big game hunting because we moved from Texas to Colorado. However, I got to do some small game stuff.
As I was thinking about the fun I had hunting small game, I also wondered how many critters did we bag THIS SEASON as a group on this forum??
I wonder if we could get a count by simply adding your total to the total in the post ahead of you should you chose to reply -- like a running total if you will.
I will start off with 38 critters total. 27 squirrels, and 11 cottontails with a Browning Buckmark. Also NUMEROUS feral pigeons, starlings, and sparrows with my pellet gun. Didn't count all those though -- they fed my falconry birds.
Plus maybe this will give us an idea on how many different species we tagged also.
I don't know, it was just a thought that I found kind of amusing.
Up to you guys!! :-)

2 wild hogs 1 cow moose 1 black bear That puts the count @ 50. I'll be @ 51 with my one deer.

I do not hunt much anymore. 1 fallow buck w/338 Fed FA single shot, 1 sika w/260 Rem FA single shot, 7 skunks w/22 mag, 3 coons w/22 mag.
It's more important where you hit 'em, than what you hit 'em with.

Two whitetails with 12ga slug (Winchester Partition Gold). One of them at 141 yds with only a 1/8" twig for a rest. Actually had my fingers wrapped around the twig with the gun resting on my hand. Hopefully next season I'll be able to report my first handgun harvest.
Total is now 67

Life Time Big Game Totals With Pistol
WT Bucks - 27 WT Does - 48 Wild Boar - 5 Yak Bulls - 2 Water Buffalo - 1 Nilgai Antelope - 1 Exotic Rams - 12 Exotic Goats - 4 Blackbuck Antelope - 1 Fallow Deer - 1 never kept up w/ small game
Revolver Kills - 23 Single Shot Pistol Kills - 79 Total Pistol Kills - 102
I'm only 35, but I don't just collect pistols I hunt with them too. I know my deer totals are low, but I've only hunted with pistols since I was 20. wvhitman's stories in the sixgunner inspired me to keep good records and running totals.
Didn't add these numbers to forum topic ***

Wow. If I'm allowed to count one, I took my first handgun deer last season. Im trying to do some trading and get a single six hunter to go with my super blackhawk hunter in 44, so I can have some small game fun as well. Just gotta find somebody who wants a 1911 more than the single six hunter.

I misunderstood, if we are just talking last season I didn't get out much so I filled my deer tag and shot a couple porky pines My elk season is still going until the end of March but I haven't been out at all since my fall season.

Last season, handgun only. Doesn't matter if it was fair chase or not.
At least that was my original idea.
...I think we might be beyond repair at this point though! :-)

I'm still good, my porky pines were with my Glock 22 and my deer with my own custom Ruger in 454 Casull. So that's 3 for me.
