A SW Chiefs Special on a big doe at about 75 yards 38 special of course. He wasn't hunting per se at the time just what he had on him while working. Took a rest on a fence post , touched it off and down she went with a neck shot.

Of course this was almost 30 years ago, and we were supposed to use at least a 6 inch barrel and .35 cal with 500 ft Lb minimum at the muzzle.

It was pretty salty and had no trouble shoving a 400 gr. at over 1200 fps. Later, I calmed down a bit, matured some, and had a custom ElDiablo contracted with a 4” (state minimum for primary arm) in .44 Special. It is astonishingly accurate. I’ve only shot one sheep and a feral dog with it, very efficient with nothing wasted. 200/240 gr. JHP at 900-1000 fps.

Many, many years ago, I took a BIG pig with my 3 1/2" .454 Casull (Custom Freedom Arms 83).

as I came home one day I saw a coyote jump out of our backyard fence. I had a female coy-dog that was in heat. I stopped the car, jumped out and pulled my .38 Derringer and shot him as he ran across the road in front of me.

It was all I had with me. I usually had it in my pocket and used it several times .. once to stop an attacking rooster that was after my 6 year old daughter.
