I was having a nap after lunch next to a trail during deer season about 10 years ago. I was awakened by a 4 point buck at 2 meters maybe, staring right at me, I slowly brought my gun up and fired killing him. I am grumpy when I first wake up.

When i was about 10 or so i was playing right field during a baseball game at recess. It was fall and we were all just back to school for a few weeks. So i'm standing there minding my own business when i hear a couple of chirps from behind me. I turn around and right at the bottom of the fence on the edge of the field was a partridge. I forgot about the game completely and took off my baseball glove while running full tilt at the thing. Just as it realized what dafuq was going on I threw my glove at him and nailed it. He started to flop around a bit so i grabbed him by the legs. Good thing i had a good grip on him because the buggerin thing tried to fly away while i had a hold of him. I got him on the ground and gave him a stomp on the head. End of bird. I lived across the street from the school so i jumped the fence and brought it home and ran back to finish off the baseball game. My friends were all pretty impressed and i felt 10 feet tall. Growing up in the north.

Snowshoe hare hiding under a spruce tree, what made me part the branches to look under it I cannot recall but there he was sitting there all white without a stitch of snow around. I poked the 410 barrel through the branches, placed the muzzle about 4 inches from his head and removed the piece between his ears!

I've had many geese land on my layout blind. I have caught a few by hand.

Pack rat in a live trap with a .22... I poked the barrel into the trap and he bit down on the end of it... Messy.... Very very messy.
Marmot at my boots, he was gnawing on the steel toe when I knocked him on the head with the butt of my ruger.
Skipped a CCI stinger over the head of a blue grouse knocking him out cold... I kept him at camp for a few hours as a pet an let em go...
Got a nice doe last fall with my trusty .F250SDD, dummied her pretty good so I sat with her for 15min checking for bleeding and broken bones with my knife in hand till she got her wits back and trotted back into the woods... Glad she was not my closest kill.
Lots of mice with a pitch fork and gophers with a shovel but nothing big.... Yet.

Was was following up on a wounded whitetail doe on an island in the South saskatchewanriver. The cover was so thick that I was down to hands and knees at times, looking for blood and trying to see under the brush. I saw "my" doe bedded with her head up and the muzzle of the muzzleloader was no more than 1 yard away when I shot it. The whole head was smoking.
Anyway, at the shot at least 6 other deer, some ruffies and an owl or two took off. I'd managed to crawl right into the middle of all of them and shoot the wrong deer.

My wife and I had a great laugh over breakfast here when I read that one out loud, taking the cake for me in this thread.

I have had to "defend" myself twice against "charging" fawn whitetails. In both cases i was on a trail, the deer for unknown reasons were spooked and running right towards me. I shot both at less than 5 steps. One died touching my feet and the other veered off to die about 20 ft away. Closest I have stalked is about 7-8 yds, on a mule deer and a whitetail, both were shot with with muzzleloader.
