ive got a couple equally disgusting ones 2 with a 45/70 and one with my 204 One was a p dog at 25 yards with a 415 gr flat nose bullet from a 45-70 went from pdog to thin air in abaout .2 seconds! the other is a cottontail rabbit at 50 yards with 350 grain hollowpoint. lets just say REDMIST. and of cousre teh rabbit sitting at 100 yards looking at em who caught a 32 grain v-max to teh cranium. all that was left was his hindquarters sitting about 15 feet from the blood spray in teh snow pretty sweat!
 
Not a varmint gun but once on a quail hunt I had one coming right at me. I knew I shoulda' let it fly but it was the end of the day and I could legally take one more bird. I meant to lead it a little to the left to try and catch it with the edge of the shot pattern but it jogged left just as I fired. It was instantly turned into a narrow 6 foot long cloud of feathers with what resembled a fuzzy uncooked Mcnugget landing squarely between my feet, by the high brass load of #8 shot
 
Edited for pic size and graphic content.

You will like this one. My buddy is at my rifle range shooting his 22-250 at 100 yards. All of a sudden a beaver walks up onto the firing range right in front of his target. Well here is a pic of the carnage. He was using a vmax. Randy

The third and fourth chucks in this clip from my new video come unglued pretty good. Shot with my 6AI and 75 Vmax.
But they ain't nothing, at all, compared to using .357 125 gr. JHP's loaded in a .350 Rem. Mag. on jack rabbits. That was just plain disgusting.

7 mag, 10 yards, 15 pound hog,head shot! got good pics but been kinda skeered to post pics! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
75 grain Speer hollow point, 26 inch barrell, hot 6mm load, about 25 yards on a smallish snowshoe hare. I aimed at the base of his head intending to eat the critter but caught a little more. A pink cloud hit the sunlight and left a swath of pink snow about ten feet wide and 40 feet long. Bits of rabbit festooned the trees. The critter's heart lay perfect on the snow, beating. One ear was attached to one hind foot by a strip of skin. Nothing else identifiable. Astonishing. Awful.

Second worst was a full metal jacket (tip of nose filed off to make it legal, and I don't do that anymore) military 30-06 round on an extra large coyote at 40 feet as it stood facing me. Pieces of coyote flew 40 feet high, a bad sign when you are fur hunting. The coyote had a .30 hole in the chest and another identical beside the anus. The critter's back was split from front of withers to tail, backbone entirely gone, gutted from the top. Apparently the bullet had coursed along the bottom side of the spine, explosvely deflecting/blasting bone skyward.

Whats the most destruction/carnage you've seen from your varmint

mine is a rabbit at 10 yards with a 243 with 55 Gr. nosler ballistic tip the biggest peace i found was about the size of my fist



/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Thaaat would be, Maximum Carnage

2nd and 3rd kills are QUITE grotesque! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
I've nailed woodchuck with my .22-250 using Sierra 52gr. HPBT bullets (not really a varmint bullet) and turned them inside out, a grizzly sight indeed. It's not so much what you hit them with as it is where you hit them. With me this will happen on about 1 out of every 4 hit. Best wishes.

Not sure its the most carnage, but this PD turned almost inside-out. It was hit with a 34.5 grain hand swaged HP from a Tactical 20 at @ 200 yards - North Texas in 2002. - BCB

 
I don't understand how you people can call yourselves sportsmen. I totally understand that everything done in these videos has most likely been done legally but it is things like this that gives sportsmen a BAD name. Go ahead, start yelling at me about it, But I am absolutely sure that people will back me up on this.

Fine, get your guns and blow them to pieces, but I do not know that it is necessary to show close shot videos of prarie dogs getting blown to pieces. If there are any moderators reading this, Please be advised that these are the types of things that Anti's look for in picking sportsmen apart. They thrive on things like these to turn the sport of being outside into a crime.

Yes, it may be interesting to see photo's of this...I particularly have no problem seeing them, but this is an all ages website(if there was a note saying you must be 18, I missed it.) I find it amazing that moderators don't seem to care about this. If it happens in the field, leave it in the field. If you are interested in seeing what other people have happen in the field, that is not appropriate, use something confidential like EMAIL or some other form, Instant messaging, etc. just post in here that you have photos of animals blown to pieces, or even movies, Don't make a link called THE MOST CARNAGE YOU'VE SEEN. Yes, in the summer I shoot hogs with a 22-250 wiht 50 gr vmax but it is NOT humane for one to take photos and advertise.

Next time I kill a hog, I'll take some pictures and go to my local supermarket, put up a table and post the pictures there, real big, about 3ftx3ft. That way, everyone can see them. Better off, for good measure, I'll just bring pieces of the hog.
 
FF, you got a point. I'm not doing the videos nor photos, but will add something that I almost did in my first post. I quit using the Speer hollow points precisely because of their explosive effect. We were hunting cougar the day that I nearly vaporized the rabbit, and I just shot with the tool in hand. The curiosity of this thread for me is not in the destruction but in what different bullets do, how they perform.

I know of a rancher in British Columbia who shot a good sized bull moose in the neck at about 40 feet with a hot .22-250 load pushing a light frangible varmint bullet. He was coming back to the ranch house after a dawn patrol for coyotes when the bull stepped into a narrow lane. There was a puff that looked like dust, the bull shook its head and walked into the bush. Moose hair littered the snow, without a drop of blood. The high velocity light weight frangible bullet distintegrated in the thick layer of moose mane. To me, that is a curiosity, a bullet applied to a task lightyears outside of its intended purpose, with instructive results. I could add a 165 grain Sierra boattail soft point from a .30-06 that punched a .30 pencil hole in a snowshoe hare's ribs without knocking him off of his feet, at about 25 foot range. The shot appeared to be a miss, as the rabbit took a bite of snow, hopped twice with no sign of blood or injury, then fell over dead. Again, bullet performance way outside of its intended use, and instructive results about fitting a bullet to its task.
 
okanagan, Glad at least someone can see it from my viewpoint. I understand that one may want to know what a bullet does to an animal, just post the gun you have, and ask if anyone has seen the damage. If they have it, email the pics.

This is a topic that is widely disputed, what's humane? I have nothing against talking about what happens in the field but showing photos such as the ones above only give the anti's something to thrive off of. I guess I'm just watching out for our hunting community.

Everything I see happening in other countries makes me sick, no hunting(anywhere), no guns, etc. etc. Things like this just seem to put us one step closer.
 
The antis are out there 24/7 regardless.

This is what we do, and what we enjoy. This forum is where we share that.

By running and hiding, we only appear guilty. Put it out there, stand by it, and by doing so, legitimize it.

You may feel differently, so you do what's right for you. but that's how I roll.
 
My buddy has a penchant for prairie dog head-shots.
One he hit in somewhere in the throat area as it was standing facing us at about 230 yards (60 VMax/.223). The dog got slammed down his hole in a flash of red as something flew sideways at high speed about 20+ feet. I walked over to the fragment and found a bit of gristle about 24 feet from the hole and turned it over with my toe. It was the critter's whole face, eyes and all! Yechh!

After seeing many of his p-dog victims with no head and no head fragments nearby, I got to see the actual event up close once. We had one pop up at about 90 or so yards, so I got the binocs and had a nice close up view as my buddy cut loose. The p-dog's head, for just an instant (like 1/100th of a second) was replaced by a cloud of high-velocity pink mist, then the headless body very slowly sunk back into its hole. Amazing, head -> vapor. The physics involved must be incredible.

That is absolutely correct. Until the antis have the last say in what is going to happen in the hunting world, I will not let them be the deciding factor in how I apply my hobbies when it comes to varmint and predator hunting. If a person is upset because they personally do not like hearing stories and looking at pics of animal carnage on a forum then that is a personal issue. But if a person is worried about what the anits are going to say about it, then that person must ask themselves who is running thier hobbies- them or the antis?

I hunt varmints and predators for the purpose of hunting them (Yotes for depredation). I have no intention of eating Crow, Coyote, or G-Hog. Do any of the westerners have a desire to eat or save the fur from P-dogs? I think not- they hunt them for sport. I could give a damn what the antis think.

At the end of the day, you are not going to change their views on anything. Does anyone know of a hunter that stopped hunting because the propaganda of an anti changed the way they saw things? We are not going to change the way that they see anything either. No matter how humane we kill our quarry.

So, if one must seek the red mist (like me) then seek it brother, seek it!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
guys, I am not against killing animals for food, or sport. And I often kill certain animals for sport, just like many of you. I have many of my own photos of missing heads on fox, woodchuck, squirrel, etc... complements of my 22-250 savage. Just don't think it's proper for all to see. Maybe including (GRAPHIC PHOTOS) into the title of the post would make this appropriate.
