Not exactly "barking", but same principle, albeit this one was accidental:

My dad and uncles used to tell me the story of "the only thing dad ever killed with his .30-06" (my grandpa, and his Garand that he carried in Korea, not that he "carried" it much, since he was assigned as a wrench on a carrier).

The distance varies depending on which one of them tells the story, but I know the spot on the ranch where it happened, had to be around 150-200yrds.

Opportunity shot on a coyote on a ridge at the family farmstead while they were out feeding one morning, grandpa pulled the '06 out from behind the truck seat, leaned over the hood, and fired. A loud "ptang" and a cloud of dust, but sure enough, the coyote fell over dead.

My dad and 2 uncles ran out to investigate, there was a big divot in a large rock, and two chips the size of half dollars cut through the coyote.

So the only thing Gpa ever killed with his .30-06, Korea included, was a rock, that incidentally killed a coyote.
