now if you killed an animal using bows and arrows THHHATT would be cool.
thats cowardly, you dont need a fifty to kill a deer
conrad, a deer can be taken with a .223 or even a .22LR, but that is very cruel – the animal could be wounded. There is nothing cowardly with .50 caliber. .50 is not a magical number, there are more efficient ways of killing deers.
I think hunting with either .50 BMG or .510 DTC rifles are way more humane and never overkill! The energy that hits the animal with a .510 647 grain Barnes TSX round out of the before mentioned rifles is usually around 10,000-12,000 foot pounds when it hits the animal. That is serious knock down power. = More likely to be a one shot clean kill where the animal was smoted into the afterlife as oppossed to running a few hundred yards suffering while bleeding to death. Something to ponder. I use a Bohica FAR-50 MK-III in .510 DTC for my hunts.
Chance, I agree with you. There is no such thing as overkill when ensuring a one shot kill.
I seriously think you guys are mentally retarded. 10,000 to 12,000 foot pounds of energy is going to destroy anything it hits. Can you tell me how that is ethical? With the right bullet and shot placement you can kill a deer with one shot every time with a .223. Anything past a .338 Winchester is overkill for deer, there is no way you can justify using a caliber that big for light skinned game like deer and even bear. It blows my mind how people like you even get a hunting license. You are the ones that give us hunters a bad name, you’re the ones who attract anti hunting groups and animal rights groups. How can you call yourself a hunter? It takes no skill to kill an animal with a gun like that, what connection with the animal do you have when you can kill it from 1,000 yards? You are nothing more than scum. Max and Conrad have it right.
You guys are sick. Just sick. What is wrong with you people.
i understand that it is a little over-kill but still it is humane for the deer to die quickly and not slowly bleed to death or go into shock for fifteen minutes THEN die. i hunt with a 270.win and think its perfect but it still would be good to hunt at 1000 yds.+
peaceandlove, are you kidding me. really, your name is peaceandlove on a hunting thread. who the f*ck do you think you are? second, I totally agree with steve that ensuring a one shot kill is the most humane thing you could do while hunting in order to minimize the amount of pain and suffering the animal goes through. I have done squirrel hunting with a 12GA Mossberg, boar hunting with a DE .50, deer hunting with a 30-06 savage. There is nothing inhumane about making the kill quick and painless.
