Confirmed kills..how many? Rules apply

How many confirmed kills does your deer rifle have?

Done by you pulling the trigger, not grand dad, son/daughter...etc

This can be hogs, deer, elk, grizzly not paper...lol. etc.

How do you keep count? Or do you not and it does not matter.

I have a Browning A-bolt stalker in 7mm Rem. mag and have 18 confirmed kills by me. 2 were hogs. I believe I bought it in 2009. I notch my stock with my knife while in blind.

I have 18 after today.

Please share.

Two with this rifle so far. I seldom keep a rifle more than a year so they never rack up many kills. That’s two on the 6.5 Swede and 1 on the 45 lever. Both bought earlier this year.

M70 .308 = ~80ish + 3 coyotes
788 .243 = ~150ish + 10-15 turkeys + 3 coyotes ( multiple hunters)
CTR 6.5 = 7
Ruger 708 = 6
RRA 6.8 = 22 + 1 coyote

wait, animals?

and you know dang sure I haven't kept a rifle long enough to rack up a huge body count. maybe my first deer rifle Remington 700 BDL, .270. maybe 10 whitetail ??

really dont keep count , maybe the memories

2 on the current savage. I am young and getting back into it again.

I don't keep counts. If you were to sell your rifle to me and it had body count marks on it, I'd probably pass on the rifle.

No idea.

Don’t sell things I am going to keep. This will go to my son.

Not by rifle, but I keep a log of every buck I have ever killed. # of points, property name, time of kill. Coyotes, cats, hogs...........no idea.

Hold on let me count the notches on my stock..

I started doing this also. Really to leave my daughter. Great idea OnlyS&W !

No idea, don't keep track.

I’ve lost count

On this rifle, maybe just 12 or so. With the 270 Sako, maybe 200 or so. Overall lifetime total has to be somewhere around 300. I never kept a close count, and lost track decades ago.

My Horizon 6.5 was built in April 2014.
9 axis bucks
1 whitetail buck
2 whitetail spikes
8 whitetail doe
4 coyotes
Dozens of pigs

I never counted the game by firearm just how many in total. Stopped counting whitetail when I hit 200.

My “deer rifle” I have no idea.

North of 50 for sure.

I don’t hunt with it much anymore but it still seems to get a kill or two every year on a 4 legged animal

My current EDC rifle is a Tikka CTR. Had it 2 years, pulled the trigger twice on deer, killed 2 deer.

This year's management buck kill.

No idea. My current 7mm-08 that I hunt with has killed hundreds of animals, but no idea how many.

My rifle with the most kills is my first 300blk AR. I've shot a whitetail buck (my first deer), 14 hogs, and a coyote. My buck this year was killed with my Tikka .243, and it will get the most daytime hunting use from now on.

My 270 sendero has quite a few. For many years it was the only gun I hunted with, deer, hogs, coyotes etc.

I know you stated personal kill, but my wife hunts with it my dad has shot deer with it, and one of my cousins has killed a number of deer with it as well.

I stopped counting many years ago. I don't degrade my guns by putting marks on them. To each their own.

No idea on exact count but the 6.8 occupies the #1 spot. The amount of pigs to it's credit is enormous!! It has a couple of Yotes and Whitetails under it's belt as well.

LC Smith Typewriter Co. 30.06- One WT Buck
Sako Finnbear .264 Win Mag- Two WT Bucks
S&W Model 1500 7mmRem Mag- 6 WT bucks, 8 WT Does
Winchester M70 Supergrade .270 Win.- 3 WT bucks, 2 Does
Browning A-bolt Composite Stalker .270 Win.- 39 WT bucks, 63 WT Does, 1 blackbuck antelope, 1 Axis Doe, 16 coyotes, 4 javalina, 24 feral hogs, 2 tom rio grande turkeys and one really annoying fox squirrel.
Weatherby Mark V Lazermark .257 Wby Mag.-3 WT Bucks, 2 Does, 3 feral boars. One cotton tail rabbit, 1 javelina.
Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .300 Wby Mag.- 1 WT Buck, 1 Doe
Schultz & Larson .308 Norma Mag- 1 WT Doe. 1 Nutria rat.
FN Mauser custom 7mm Rem Mag-1 cow elk.
LWRC AR15-.223/5.56- 1 javelina, 2 WT Does.

That's what I can recall off the top of my noggin.

I don’t know how many whitetail I’ve killed with any rifles I have. I do have a browning lever 22 that’s killed over 30,000 jackrabbits.

I have an older Remington .270 BDL that I bought in 1980 when I started school in College Station. It was a beautiful gun and still is. It seemed expensive at the time but I could not pass it up. Still my favorite rifle and my first choice for any hunt. It has killed its share of game but the thought of disfiguring such a fine weapon is totally inconceivable TO ME. I guess it must be like tattoos everybody's doing it. If it makes you feel good go for it.

My old BSA Monarch 30-06 that I bought when I was 16 has to be in the hundreds since it was the only rifle (except for my bear gun) I hunted with until I retired it for a 25-06 Savage Axis. The Axis has 2 or 3 whitetail bucks and a couple doe. The bear gun is an old Smith & Wesson 1500 300 Win mag and has 2 black bears. My 10mm EAA Witness has a hog and several armadillos....

I have no idea. A lot with my 270 and similar number with 308. 45 years of hunting.

I have a lot of rifles, but my heavily modified Rem-my 700 in 300 Mag has to have killed over 100 critters.

I have a pellet gun I shoot squirrels with that sits by the back door. I mark with a sharpie. When I get to 5 or so I hit it with the wood burner. I’m at 30ish if I remember correctly. Other guns no clue.

I have killed deer with around 40 different guns but have no idea of the counts on some guns or an idea of total deer. Guess the one I have had the longest has somewhere between 90 and 100 deer to it's credit.

I have no clue. I know I had 24 hogs with my 7 mag one year. That was the only year I counted and that was from start of deer rifle season through the end and then a Spring Turkey hunt where I mostly pig hunted. Now I grab a different rifle each hunt so no idea.

I have a Savage 7mmRM that I bought used. I know previous owner got it used off a rack and used it to kill a mule buck.

I have killed:
1 mule deer doe
1 pronghorn
5 Texas white tail deer
several other smaller creatures, not counted them really

Only the mule deer required a 2nd shot.
So far shots taken are "kills +1"

Will take out a 243 if I can go hunting this year.

Shotgun, I have shot and killed probably way >1000 doves

These came from a variety of rifles, but it’s 80 plus kills. 308, 6.8, 300 BO, 5.56, 22 hornet and shotgun.
