What did you kill this fall, and what did you use?

So far,a nice Bobcat. Haven't seen anything bigger than what is on the wall and the does aren't big enough. Used a .264 LBC. Great round, big does better watch out or bucks.
 
Button Buck with Barnett Ghost 410 (first with bow), Doe at 250yds with 7mm rem mag custom, Nesika action,douglas air gauge 26" barrel, jewel trigger, nightforce 5-20x56. Doe at 200yds, same rifle. Hunting tomorrow during our alternate weapons season with savage 308 stryker handgun!

188 yards. Went 10 yards after that 165 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip did it's job behind the shoulder and out farther back. OLD 30-06 carbine.

He could be a brother to the 10pt I killed this year

I killed a lot of stuff but particularly, a bull elk with my 6.5-284 using 143 ELD-X bullets. Dropped instantly, bullet expanded and exited.
 
Had a good Christmas weekend. My son got his first elk. 270 Win Model 721 Rem.

Not exactly fall but it was winter over here (what feels like a lifetime ago with the heat we are having now) when I hunted this Koedoe bul. Shot a couple Blesbok aswell with my 6 SLR on another trip but this one was special to me.

Sako 30.06 with a 215gr Berger Hybrid, very very potent combination that also produces crazy small groups.
Sorry about the poor picture but it was getting dark and I was alone, 2018 im going back for his bigger brother and there are some monster walking around on that farm.
Longest horn was just shy off 50" when I measured him a couple days later.

Ho Ho Ho.. another doe.. I was packing up my stuff to leave and turned and this 115 lb whitetail was walking in with two small deer. I sat down used my knee as a rest. 80 yds / Rem 700 / 243 / 65 gr Vmax. Rifle Basix trigger / Leupold Firedot 4 x 12- 42. She kicked and ran down two very steep hills while leaving a very nice blood trail. I had to drag her up one slope with a strap from a ratchet strap. Was worn out when I finally got her in the truck.

Shot an 8pt and a doe with a 7mm Dakota and 180gr vld. One more doe dies by the hand of a 243ai and a 105 Berger hybrid. Those 105 hybrids impress me more with each deer i shoot with them.
 
Not "THIS FALL" but a couple of seasons back.
What did I kill? Coastal Doe. Maybe 90 pounds, (if that) dripping wet.
What did I use? 1998 Toyota Camry.
Took the wife's car to work, changed the oil and rotated the tires. Gave it a good wash at lunch time and filled it with gas on the way home.
Must have been 400 yards till I hit my driveway. Doe comes RIPPING down the hill from the left. Just got a quick look before I was all over the brakes. Left front fender and hood. Only cost $3,800.00.:(
Pulled in the driveway, wife comes out and says, "Hit a deer huh? Better you than me".:)
A few days later, I could smell the deer over the bank where it got hit.
 
Second deer this fall with the 257Bee. This one at 428 yds.
Factory 100 gr TTSX. One shot to the heart. He ran 40 yards before piling up.
