Humans killed and ate lots of animals before rifles were invented. So taking any impressive list of game with any rifle is interesting but does not prove that a particular rifle is the most optimal, or even the reasonably optimal way to hunt that game at that distance range. No one says byou "can't" hit a particular game animal at 150+ yards with a .44 Mag rifle. But I am saying that you probably have better options available and should probably use them, but heck, if you want to fish with a length of kite string and a safety pin, go for it. Me, I'll use the more optimal rod, reel, tackle and bait for the job I am intending to do. Same with rifles and hunting. I'd think a .44 Mag is best for under 75 yards.
