Those are cool! Weird and cool! I like the mounts.

Can’t think of anything weird I’ve killed but here is a mule deer doe I have on trail camera for five years in a row. She has a velvet growth over her right eye that get a bit bigger each year. She typically has twin fawns-

ActionBob-those are fascinating critters and very nice taxidermy-strong work sir!

If Bob is drinking what I’m thinking Bob is drinking then yes I’m drinking what Bob is drinking. I think everyone should drink what Bob drinks.

Y'all shoulnt be drikin an writin ya neva no wot you will end up writin.
Randy Bundy is an Australian rum. Easy drinking but can give a bitch of a head ache and you never know what your likely to see. Jackalopes and sabre tooth field mice are common along with the occasional pink elefant and other weird stuff.
It soothes aches, pains and all manner of kills but be warned it bite is worse than its bark.

@Forrest Halley
Dan young Forrest that's only a little one. Over here in OZ we've got bigger house flies than that and we shoot them with a 22 rimfire so as not to make to big a mess inside. Head shots work best.
Hopefully @CBH Chris will join us and regale us with some of his adventures.
Did I ever tell you about the time I got a bull elk at 250 yards with my high powered daisy red rider bb gun.
That's a story for another time.

A Porcupine in Northern Wisconsin with a Ruger Single Six .22 LR Remington H.P.

It tasted like pork and yes, I got quilled while skinning it!

My strangest was probably a pair of ground squirrels I killed with a single shot from a .22 LR. Went for a long walk to settle my mind and think things over on the morning of my wedding 39-1/2 years ago. Took the .22 along as I usually did and still do on such walks. On my way back after a couple KM hike, and just as I went past one of our barns, I saw a ground squirrel sticking its head out of a burrow it had dug under the foundation. A quick snap shot and was surprised to find two dead "gophers" where I had only noticed one. Took it as a good luck sign. All this time later, I'm still married to the same woman, and still think it was a very good decision.

Wot got Shot in Africa was weird to me. But dem warty hogs are cool.

I gotta cat dere one time and it was heavy cause I had ta hide it, mmm fat cat heavy,Mmm, fulla, arms and legs feral bastardz,

[Newboomer]

Rabid red fox that was charging right up the road at me. Nailed him at 15 feet with a 22lrhp.

 

[sestoppelman]

Like post 2, baboon. Also with a .375 and 300 gr Nosler Partition. I didn't want it but my PH asked me to shoot it for a client before me who wanted one but didn't connect.

Really not into shooting odd animals for the sake of shooting odd animals. Interesting question though. So within normal game animal group I'd have to say the Red Hartebeest. To me anyway, an impressive, large and tough animal. Obviously odd because of the horn geometry and for being on the receiving end of so many "why the long face" jokes. Oh, with an '06, off the sticks at about 150 yds.

 

[Cam Moon]

I remember as a kid, being mad at my Mom, so I got my little Daisy Red Rider B.B. gun and shot one of the hummingbirds that frequented her feeder. The thing basically exploded. Hard to believe from just a little B.B. I think the only way I'd do something like that now is if I had a big feed of what Bob's drinkin'. I've never tried (or ever heard of) Bundy, but maybe one day.....

Are you drinking what bob is? ( this is where I’d insert one of @spike.t crazy bottle smiley faces if I knew how)

Here you are... and the crazy bananas ..or..

 

[John Telford]

Weaver (small yellow bird ) with a 338wm at about 85 meters. Shot the head clean off. Let’s just say it was a slow day at the shooting range!

How do you do the emojis.

I don't have a pic, but I once shot a 5' shovel-nosed shark that was nosing about in the shallows (must've been sick!) with my Ruger M77 .30/06 (that made him terminally sick!).

(Dis)honourable mentions:
Many years ago, when WA had a duck season, my mother collected a No. 4 pellet in her top lip from my brother who had fired at a low swinging duck.

Then during next year's season, my brother-in-law put a pellet into his mate's thigh.
