Don't worry, I'm sure this guy will be back with a video of some deer hunting with a miniature naval cannon. Its not specifically illegal, probably even qualifies for muzzleloader season!

Sometimes if pays to stop and think if you should instead of only being concerned with if you could...

My shot. Recorded by one of my hunting buddies. They just had to see it. Full house load using a 400 grain swift A-frame. Range is around 65 feet. I hit the deer in the ribs and the bullet went straight through. Unfortunately the backstraps were a write off. On the positive side that was the only meat damage.


Edit: The shot took so long because I was waiting for the two of them to line up. Then took the smaller one when they weren't going to.

You didn't hit one where you aimed, how did you ever plan to get a twofer?

At such close range, head or neck shots waste the least meat. I like your style, just need to work on execution
 
“As soon as someone does something that goes against their own person opinion or practiced methods then they are a "dip####" or whatever name you'd like to call them”

Goes against every part of Ethical Hunting, that’s not just personal opinion.

Killing an animal so “your buddies can see it” then openly admitting to not giving a $hit about ruined meat just shows the complete lack of respect this guy has for the animal and for hunting in general.
Like I said , he’s not a hunter, he’s just another dip#### with a gun.
And if you were a hunter that had any respect for the sport yourself then you’d think the same.

It dropped it fast but it probably didn't die quickly. Usually a spine shot animal only gets bone fragments driven down into the lungs which take several minutes to drop the blood pressure enough to have the animal pass out.

All of who have hunted for ~50 years or so have more than likely made poor shots on occasions but we sure as hell don't brag about them.

The "back straps" or tenderloin does not reside above the chest cavity, they start at about the third to last rib

Unless someone is using the term "back strap" incorrectly for the prime rib......

Well I guess name calling is the way to correct it.
 
Maybe his intent all along was to see how many guys he could rile up, just like his post about damaging his friends ears by chopping down the RUM barrel.

He's probably having a beer and shytting himself laughing at us!

Two different bits of meat. The term "backstrap" refers to the loin on the back of a deer above the rib-spine connection. Tenderloins are the two strips of very tender meat under the loin below the spine.

One thing about this thread is that the OP is getting the attention he so desperately seeks. Probably sitting at his keyboard just fapping away in absolute ecstasy.

yes, that is called the prime rib or the loin once cut away from the spine.

Never looked up the meaning as "backstrap" is not a term I use when butchering, maybe when discussing a backpack

If I may... the term "backstrap" is not referring to the "tenderloin" but rather to the "loin"... the tenderloin is along the spine inside the body cavity, the loin is outside the body cavity along the spine... technically, I believe (at least in my experience) the "loin" is the lower portion of the backstrap (say third rib back), but the "backstrap" runs the full length of the spine from the base of the skull all the way to the tailbone and can be removed in two long strips... which is what we do when we bone out the meat in the bush.
 
Did most of my hunting and deer cutting up in Saskatchewan - we would use the term "backstrap" the same as described by hoytcanon - and there were no real "meat cutter" guys around to set us straight!!!

You are right .......... The backstrap is one continuous muscle that starts at the top of the hind at the sirloin and tapers off in the chuck shoulder. It includes the top sirloin, strip loin, prime rib and small part of the blade meat in the shoulder.

Original 1st nation peoples would use the sinew off the top of this muscle to make their bow strings.

A hit from a 416 Rigby would ruin a lot of future bow strings.
 
Simply a troll thread. Lots of people getting played. The mirror image of "223 for Moose threads".

I personally have no problem using a firearm pushing 5-6x the usually quoted energy for deer. I've shot coyotes with my 338, with the expected result. Stating that he was trying to line up two, goes to character, the statement being true something else entirely.

An A-frame from a 416 Rigby wouldn't ruin much more than a handful of meat here anyways.

I have found the same with my 375 with deer, ruined very little meat. My 25/06 would usually anchor deer a bit faster , with more meat loss unless just hit through the ribs.

I used my 375 on many deer hunts, and it paid off when I made it to Africa.
