hunting with a .50 BMG

I beleive member ATR has posted photos.
Contrary to popular belief, it does not completely blow apart an animal.
 
ya 100$ for 10 rounds isn't cheap, wouldn't want to waste it blowing a huge hole in a deer.
Thats the type of round you hunt with if your a redneck, where everything you do is overkill.
The advantage of being able to shoot through a tree is one that is unnecessary.
 
As fun as it would be, Im pretty fat and would be worn right out if I had to walk 4km to put my tag on a moose... lol I could not imagine even attempting to hunt anything smaller than a moose with it. (but ground hogs would be fun)

You seem pretty opinionated. Is this based on any real evidence, or just recycled internet opinions?
 
My father and I happened upon a guy 10 years ago, in the P.G. area, shooting moose with his .50 from an elevated landing in a clearcut that was about 1.5km (maybe a little less) from a small swamp. He told us that he shoots a moose every year from that spot. He sits with his spotting scope, and a cup of coffee, with his rifle on a tripod, beside his fifth-wheel, watching the swamp. That's not my style, but I have no problem with it, as long as a clean kill is made.

First you ask if a 50 BMG is legal to hunt with, and then you say only rednecks would hunt with one ?
Having owned a 50 for a few years and hunted with it a few times, I have to say that this is a silly thread.... :kickInTheNuts:

No in Yukon, specifically prohibited.

So if you want to come up here, buy something in 20mm Vulcan, or use your PRTD and then you'd be okay...:eek:

Not sure where you get your info because I checked with Game Branch before I bought mine and was told as long as I used expanding bullets, there was nothing in the laws that forbid it.
Sean at Hougens did exactly the same thing before bringing in the one I bought and was told the same as I.

And yes I intend to hunt cariboo up the Dempster with mine and 647 gn Barnes TSX BT.
