Does the .30-06 pack enough punch to take down a Chevrotain?

[hakx]

Nothing less than a belted magnum. Definitely.

 

[Scuttlebutt]

I heard that the lady in Ft. Simpson got in a lucky shot though. Shooting from the hip, she got it right in the eye.

Another poll that is nothing but a waste of bandwidth........

 

[Mr. Friendly]

guys, considering the beast qualities of this particular aminal, nothing less then a .50BMG...or the M1A1 Abrams.

 

[a j cave]

when you look at those massive legs & think about being overrun, you must ask "do I have enough gun?" If you are ice water calm & steely nerved then maybe the 06 is ok but not me!! AJ

 

[6gm6]

silence!
I am half man, half bear, and half pig -- it is possible!

besides - it could be half mouse, half deerpig. or half deer, half pigmouse. the topic of the thread is not genetics, but whether or not a .30-06 is sufficient to kill one humanely.

Only if it's a Tikka

 

[Juster]

Placement. A 22LR in the eye socket is how real men hunt.

More Chevrotrains have fallen to the 30-30 than any other cartidge. It certainly isn't as romantic as the other super-cartridges, but every year a few old timers dressed in wool plaid head out into the bush with their 30-30s, and come out with a chevrotrain.

 

[Bishopus]

Pfff, the thrown rock has slain more Chevros than all your newfangled metallic cartridges put together. Back in my fathers' fathers' day, when they wanted a small animal dead they threw stones at it!

I'll be in my shed, stacking stones into small piles and wearing a coonskin cap.

 

[Jamie Frost]

I don't think anything short of a tactical nuclear strike would be able to handle that gargantuan monster

 

[westcoaster]

MBP, I too am counting down to opening day...

Minimum 338wm - not a Federal - for a humane kill.

 

[DaveC]

"Captain! The Chevrotain has taken a direct hit from the phasers! It sees to have no effect!"

"Remodulate the frequency and keep firing or we're done for!"

 

[maxim08]

I have about a dozen .470 Nitro Express rounds if anyone has the rifle and cojones to take on this killer beast.
Regards,
Maxim

Looks like a job for the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch !!!!

... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy Chevrotain, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

the BC Hunting reg's state nothing less than the Guns of Navarone shall be used upon the Crown's Chevrotain.

Holy bleep. And there I was worried about the Sasquatches and Pacific Tree Octopoi...

 

[Iron Glove]

This topic has been covered ad nauseum in earlier "Chevotrain Defence" threads.
Obviously nothing short of a mag fed 12 guage needed.

 

[Hugegoat]

Uh. Never seen one before (unless in pictures), so I shouldn't really comment. But are you guys being sarcastic with the .30-06 not being able to take one out quickly and cleanly? Because i'm a little confuzzled .

 

[Curt]

There is no sarcasm on gunnutz. You should be banned for suggesting otherwise
