Whitetail deer dummied by .416 Rigby

Geez, what do you guys expect? The post is from the same guy that wanted to sit in a fabric blind and stab a deer with a sword when it walked by, or was it shoot spotted sea turtles with a hilti nail gun? I can't remember, its been a long day running around the forest in my batman costume trying to beat whitetails to death with a rolled up poster of Boy George, sorry.

Boy George would not appreciate being involved in blood sports, and by doing this you would hurt his feelings.
 
On a more serious note though, the 416 certainly did terminate that deer fast. I agree with the other posts that probably any caliber placed in the spine area would have produced similar results. I am curious how fast the deer would have dropped if the shot was lower.
The OP is free to use any legal caliber he wants, its his hunt. As for using the sword, I don't think that is a great idea, it's best to dispatch the animal as quickly and humanely as possible. Not only is it more ethical, but there's also no sense giving the anti hunters ammunition to use against us.

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.

what's your point? Do you go around all day trying to think of the most mundane ways of doing things? You literally are using the most disgustingly boring rifle ever invented as a benchmark. I suppose you take two "Dare - Lemon" cookies with your afternoon tea because the chips ahoy are too sweet.

You old folks are too much.

I always enjoy wit and repartee that includes insults, ageism, assumptions and generalizations, absurd opinion, and irrelevant analogies. It's hard to get them all into such a short post. Good for you!
