I wish the mods would just block any thread that mentions the two words calibre and eland in the same sentence.


FWIW, Asusual, pretty much everyone on here for any length of time already knows who sheephunter is so this is just stupid.
 
martinbns, 220 swifty has you quoted above as and I quote"FWIW asusual ,pretty much is just stupid" end quote. Where do you get off calling everything I say stupid Martinbns? Never pulled a stunt like that with you. Didnt ever expect it back..

Not to worry Martinbns we're cool. I know a child typed between the quote lines to alter what you said. Your right it is stupid. Has been for some time and the thread was started by me thinking that within 2-3 posts it would have ran its purpose which was to show exactly what your saying. What I never will get is why someone with far vaster resources than the average person would ask advice on how to marginalize on caliber selection. He knows its marginalizing. I mean you dont see a thread called "the great impala vs 30/06 thread" Because he knows flat out and solid that the 06 is not marginal but rather sure fired and garaunteed in that case. Yet this guy with resources out the wazzoo posts about eland and 06. There can only be one reason. It stands to benefit him in ways beyond what most of us hunt for. financial,recognition,etc. Not quite the reasons we come here in hopes of info. Speaking for myself I come wanting to know things like,what is a garaunteed bang flop cal for animal X, not hey guys ,justify my marginal selection so as to take another gender, a kid, or whatever and probably in some way make bags of money. I think when people with such vastly diverse lifestyles and motives show up on the same discussion its headed for the toilet

Problem is things turn sour cause you get children like Notsoswifty showing up. notsoswifty drop that dog your holding in the sigline I just heard the short bus. Notsoswifty wont be with us from8;30-4;00 today.schools back in. Their going to learn him how to type outside the quote marks

Your a 52 year old women who's maintained ###ually appealing birth giving thighs? Whats your address?
 
No, it could have ended in the original thread, but you are so worked up about it, you felt it necessary to start another thread. Then the jealousy started to pour out of you when you thought that this might be a sponsored trip. So far, my favorite thing about the whole experience is how your coherence level drops the more frustrated you get. That last post was a bit more readable, so maybe you are coming around again, but for a while there i was starting to wonder if you were one of the Quebecois members of the forum. You must have been pretty angry to get that sloppy with the sentance structure.

At any rate, you are obviously started this thread to stir #### up, and being a #### disturber at times, by nature, i couldn't resist. You have accused me of being one of sheephunter's fanboys and that is not the case at all. I will respect his opinions (that's what maturity allows me to do), but I only agree with them about half the time. Disagrement with his or anybody elses post doesn't compel to start a new thread simply to attack that opinion.

So, back to the original debate, have you looked at gatehouse's link yet? The fact that the pros over there are contradicting your opinion, is that what is upsetting you so much? And as far as the "dog" in my sigline goes, as soon as it is back from taxidermy, i will post up some photos. Unlike the pictures you googled of an eland, i will actually get some at an angle that displays the headgear a bit.

Have a nice day little buddy!
 
I actually read that it could be done with the 30-06 and to place with appropriate bullets your shot well I do not see that they are saying that it is all you should use.

As I quoted earlier Gen Boddington says in an article about being over gunned that he would use a .33 cal and heres another I just remembered Col Jeff Cooper stated that anything could be killed with the 30-06 with appropriate bullets and didn't see why there was a need for any other cartridge.

Cooper then went on to shoot his African game with larger caliber cartridges.

Yes it can be done but it can be done better with larger cartridges if everything is equal between two caliber of bullets the larger caliber will do a better job quoting Layne Simpson now.

Can Vanessa down her eland with her rifle/cartridge/skills most likely.

Good Luck Vanessa wish my wife would do stuff like this with me.
