Antelope buck- bow
Fall Turkey- bow
Muley buck- 280 rem

Spring Turkey- 12 ga
 
Mature Whitetail Buck with .30-06 shooting 180 grain Hornady Interlock.

Whitetail Doe with .308 shooting 168 grain Hornady AMAX.
 
I've taken two Whitetail bucks with 250 Gr. Barnes Expander MZ over 80 Gr. equivalent of Blackhorn 209, but no cartridge. Those familiar with Illinois know that we can't hunt with a breech loading rifle. The ballistics are similar to the 45-70, but we hunt in the woods anyway. My longest shot was 60 Yards.
