Kill Shots (For the predators)

Went out jack rabbit hunting today but only seen around 3-4, by the time I started blasting at them they were gone........sneaky little shits

You getting ready to gut a deer or palpate a cow:p
 
When it comes to hunting, as sure as that sun is gonna rise and set, someone, somewhere, is gonna get their skivvies in a tangle over a photograph of a kill. I remember the hogs that were butchered with a Junglas last summer. I know this was a mountain lion, but it could have been just about anything. Sensitivities are easily offended even on a knife forum.
 
uh, 7mm rem mag at close range?? can throw a cat through that exit hole. nice buck btw.

It was actually a 30-06 at about 20-30 yards, and that's the ENTRANCE wound, the deer was quartered away from of us so it just kind of opened the side of him up like a zipper, only time in my life I've seen an entrance wound bigger than an exit

And that's my brother cleaning that deer, he doesn't ussually wear all that gear when cleaning but was just dicking around, because the day before he was helping my Dad clean a deer and Dad accidentally stuck him with his knife
 
We definately have way to many cats around here, if you want to trap and relocate them come on over. Until then most people tree them with dogs and then shoot them out of the tree. The lions here are almost out of control and the Game and fish needs to up the Quota. When the quota can be filled in less than a week in an area you know you have to many cats, not to mention the money that is paid back to the ranchers because of the predation these animals cause to livestock. Lets not even get started on the wolves we have in our state. The elk are definately hurting because of them, personally I think our forfathers had it right in killing them off in the lower 48.

Trap and relocate.....LOL
 
I really like this thread - it is a good representation of hunting and the processing of meat that people eat and derive sustenance from. I'm a veterinarian, and clients are constantly surprised that I am a fisherman and (occasional, and not very good) hunter. They think since I spent a whole lotta dough and my entire adult life being a surgeon and doctor for animals that I wouldn't/shouldn't eat them - as if that is a conundrum. The best thing I can tell them is that any animal I eat either was raised by a farmer I know in my county or I caught and killed. I respect the animal and the sacrifice it made to feed me and others. Really not that difficult a concept but most people today are totally clueless when it concerns ANY type of food product, much less meat. Surprisingly, the two groups of people that automatically understand my viewpoint are eco-liberals that still eat meat, and hunters, who by-and-large are quite conservative politically.
 
Remington 700 with a 1:8 twis bull barrel finished at 20". Had a hogue stock on it there but the stock has been upgraded as well as the glass has changed from that weaver scope to a Burris Signature scope.

Could you come explain that to my wife? I tried to explain it's better to eat the animal that was well cared for (even if you've had it as a "pet", e.g. cow), but she would rather eat the malnourished, abused and horridly-treated cow of general livestock populace.

Boggles me mind...:(:thumbdn:
 
What a great thread!

Hopefully, I'll be able to contribute some pics next month of an ESEE at work on a Wild Turkey. Or two. :D
