British .303 for deer.
Rem 870 12 ga for birds.
.25 auto pea shooter for just in case. The 870 is your best choice for 'just in case', think buckshot or slugs. Buckshot is like emptying a magazine of 9mm all at once.
You should upgrade the .25 though. Lot's of good, ex-cop, wheelguns show up at gun shops, pawn shops, etc for a $150-200.

True, but the 870 doesn't fit in my back pocket!
The pea shooter used to be my back up weapon (ex-LEO) and altho it's not, umm, overly lethal, I am hooked on its portability, and it sure beats throwing rocks.

One 20 ga. buckshot shell is roughly the equivalent in energy of two .44 mag rounds. 12 ga. is much more poweful yet -- probably the equivalent of at least 6 shots from a .44 mag, which is of course considerbly more powerful than any full magazine of 9mm.
