vaporized a skunk once with 357 mag 146 gr hollowpts @ 5 yards,all that was left was bloody hole,no fur guts nothing
 
Had a coon crawl between the fan and radiator of my 9650 STS combine last week, now that was carnage! intestines hanging from the alternator, ribcage here, liver there, ect. ect. Not fur friendly. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

SOR
 
cotton tail headshot with a 325 grain hollow point out of a 45/70 15 feet and another one hit in the the body 20 feet very messy.
 
Hit a woodchuck with a .223 45grain jacketed hollow point.
Took the head right off of the shoulders. It landed about 5 feet up hill and to the left from the body.
 
Annoying little red squirrel at 15 yards...

With a 150 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tip...

From a 26" barreled T/C Encore in .300 WM.

Nothing but the tail and a fine red mist all over the snow left (though the mist spread was impressive...).
 
Upon closer look, there were several rabbit babies located around the rabbit I shot. I couldn't believe it. It was pure carnage. I actually blew the babies right out of it. I'll probably go straight to hell for saying this, but it earned my rifle the nickname "The Coat Hanger" ]



hey coat hanger or should i say red hanger /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif i know what your speaking of. i have done the same thing twice. i also have a picture floating around that my friends boss took. he wanted to see what a mini-14 would do to a bunny. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif well he now knows. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif the 2nd time my brother & blackrifle were both with me. it was a fierce day my friend & the bunnies were a charging. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif we were running low on ammo /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif & they told me it is time to be efficient with my ammo. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif so i shot and then had them come over as i was counting. i then asked them if this is what they had in mind? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif six with one shot /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif. the other by the way was seven with one shot /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif
 
Today at the range a Gound hog came out of his hole at about 80 yards up on the bank shot it with a 65 gr. vmax out of my savage 243 he went flying into the air when i went to look at him the bullet ripped his whole side of him off and threw his guts 5 feet from his hole.
 
Sorry guys this thread is disgusting slapp in the face of sportsmen. This is a celebration of carnage not of hunting. First of all you go on a prarrie dog shoot not a hunt. There really is no hunting involved in sitting on a spot and shooting animals when the step out of their holes. Also where are te ethics here? Shooting Rabbits with .308 come on sounds like plan waste. I understand shooting to control pest etc. But to glorify the fact you blew something apart? It is sick and wasteful. I agree if you want to find out bullet perfiormance shoot mellons or heads of lettuce. But to show and talk about shooting a pregnant rabbit and blowing its babies out of it is disgusting.
 
falcon four, i have a couple of questions for you.

when you see a post that says graphic it might just be graphic. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif people that see this and then get upset should take a step back, regroup and then leave the post if they don't like it! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif you knew it was going to be graphic because it said graphic! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif its best at that time to just walk away /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif if you are upset & not say anything. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif respect someones post especially when they point out the obvious. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

if you bag on someone because you don't agree with it is alright i guess because everyone is intitled to their own opinion. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif however, don't be a hypocryte and say one thing and do another. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif example complain about pic's then post one of your own. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif


elks, i am curious why you feel it is neccessary to point out what a hunt consists of, after all the thread was "most carnage". its nice to see you try force your ideas of what a hunt consists of. to some people prairie dog hunting is hunting. i have hunted p-dogs before & i can in-deed call it a hunt. i had to wake up early in the morning(falcon4 you can see where i coming from here, because your hunt consists of waking up early all though i stayed out late the nite before, maybe its not a hunt then in your book, would it have counted if i said a prayer?) then i drove for 4 to 6 hours to find the p-dogs. i then had to find the one i wanted & then shoot. i took shots from a long distance out & i missed more than i hit. from what your saying this is not a hunt? or is it? i have gone black bear hunting wear i woke up early(falcon4) then i drove & found a spot, looked for signs & then set up a bait site. then i sat and waited. guess what i shot me a bear. i guess that was not a hunt either. i have seen hunting shows where a guy finds an area, sets up a tree stand & then waits to shoot a dear or etc. i guess this too is not a hunt. i now understand i am a cold blooded killer.

but wait maybe if i say a prayer afterwards it will make me a hunter(falcon4). thats great! if this was the case serial killers will start using this as an alibi!

i have also seen some dead elk carcass on my bear hunt - no wait, my bad elks, on my bear non-hunt murderous killing spree & it was also graphic. i guess the animal that killed the other was not a hunter it was a cold blooded killer, unless it might have said a prayer afterwards.

hey elks i have a question for you. you bring up ethics /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif which is always a nice subject. why do you do it? i have no idea! however, when you shot your cougar did you do it for the meat or for the trophy? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif

people i am not a preacher, nor am i a speller(so don't jam on me for my spelling, unless you need to) but i am not going to be a closet hunter / killer / blood crazy fool that loves carnage! i will post pictures if someone would like to see it. because after all when animals kill animals it is graphic & i too am an animal. however i am just a little smarter than others on a good day /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif



p.s. elks my rabbit kills were with a mini 14 - that is a .223 round, not a .308! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif i personally don't think thats too much. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif now i am asking your opinion because i want to hear it. do you think that is too much on a jack rabbit? (see this is important because i asked for your opinion. this means i care to know what you think about this & only this topic) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

elks-I for one can understand your point of view. However, I don't think vmax17 intended for his post to be a "celebration of hunting", per the thread title he was interested in carnage. I am personally a little squeamish when it comes to these photos (not to mention when I am involved 1st hand),but I do find them intersting. I am sure there are people who find your pose with the cougar very distasteful and perhaps you have taken flak about it from those who think trophy hunting is unethical. Your response reminds me of the uber conservatives here in utah who do not want anyone to imbibe in alchoholic (adult) beverages because they don't believe it is proper for "them". This is the "varmint" forum, I'm guessing very few hunt/shoot them to put food on the table (not unlike trophy hunting). I am not flaming you, I just believe if this post is disturbing to you---
move on.
 
You gotta be kidding me I.O.N.Doyle....do have any idea how many bowling balls I would need to wipe out a p.d. town? Bullets are picy enough these days....That too is a fact! At least I own my own hunt'n boots, wouldn't have to rent em. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

Praire dog shooting is to hunting what bowling is to athletic competition. Not an opinion just a fact.



so it could be hunting, there is a chance? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
 
Don't most PD hunters and Bowlers have the same physique? (kidding)

I have to agree with clevebug on this a bit. Unless you are oposed to the hunting of said rabbit, who cares what is is shot with? .308, .223, .17 hmr, .45-70.....who really cares? If someone get's their jollies off of the fact that there are babies in a rabbit, that is freaky and a bit wierd. But I don't think that is what was intended.

I also agree that you can't staddle the fence on differnt issues. You can't opose PD "shooting" and then be pro-trophy hunting (which is what cougar hunting is, or coyote hunting for that matter). Rationalize all you want, they fall into the same category...animals shot and not eaten. Fine with me!

I will say that you can hunt PD's. Next time some of you go out, try calling them with the old rabbit is distress! It works, the tweaked squirrle brought them running if they were close! That is hunting!

those pics make me think of watching bugs bunny and seeing a truck run into a cow or something, it flips in the air and then comes down as a meat stand with steaks and sausages hanging. lol
and to all the people with the "inhumane" arguement. think of it like this, at least they didnt feel anything.
mmmmm yummy grass, grass, grass, DEAD!!!
 
Not sure which was worse.

Deer at 500 meters with a .50 cal 670 gr FMJ

Or the deer at 1200 meters with a 25mm main gun in a Bradley.

They both were pretty much vapor.
 
FarmerJ, a friend had a similar story a couple years back. he was at Ft Drumm in NY for his weekend at drill in the marine corps and was telling me about some deer out on the range getting hit by the .50s. pretty much obliterated liek you said.
the funniest part was they would make the FNGs go out and clean up. lol now thats a job i would not want.
 
I got a PD with my 7STW, 162 gr A-MAX at 100 yards, nothing but a red V on the ground behind it, I found 4 chunks of skin about the size of a dime, nothing else!!

I also have a "what is it" pic of another critter if you all would like to play the guessing game !!
 
I am having a real hard time starting this response. Not sure which area to tackle.

Clevebug,
I was aked for my opinons by others so I am going to offer just that. First of all you are correct in saying that the original intended idea of this post was most carnage. But reading through the list and seeing the pictures of "this blew up that blew up" I couldn't help but think where are the ethics? I find alot of this thread has been done in poor taste. A bragging tone underlying the whole ordeal and that is wrong. To me there is no glory in blowing things up. Again if you read my post you will see that I am infavor of taking pdogs, Jacks etc. as a means of population and damage control. Shooting things just to watch em blow up is not ethical. Nature and game deserve our respect even if they are vermin. I see no respect of either here. I am pointing out there there is a difference between shooting and hunting. For each of us we define what is a hunt. I simply said that in no way would I consider Pdog shooting hunting. Each one of us defines what is hunting and what is acceptible. Some consider high fence hunts hunting, others do not. Some people out there participate in internet hunting etc. I was flat out stating that shooting pdogs is something I do not consider hunting.

Blackrifle/bug/BIGC,

First of all how can you even group lion hunting and pdog shooting oin the same catagory?

You bringing up my lion in my pic. And try to start something there. First of all yes I am eating the lion. I have had a couple roast off of it, and there are more in the freezer. Did I shoot the lion only cause of the trophy? No, by state law I have to consume the meat as well, so to answer the question, No it was not a "trophy hunt", however it was a hunt that ended up giving me a great trophy. Not to mention lions are pretty tastey. There are many reason that I took that lion. First of all, that was a hand called lion. No dogs, no ecaller, no one else on the stand just myself, my gun and a call. The area I hunted was on public ground and happened to be the same areas I deer hunt in. And the deer population has been down in recent years in part due to lions. The area also has sheep, and in the last year had sevaral sheep taken by a lion. Was it my lion eating sheep? I have no idea, but I was there in part to help the rancher, whom I know. Coyotes/bobcats/badgers/coons are not just trophy animals either. No I do not eat em, but I take every fur I can and try to have their death serve a useful purpose. Again I am not against the shooting of pdogs and pest animals, however I draw a line in what is hunting and what is not. I hate to see wasteful destruction of any creature, this includes roadkill animals, anything shot and left, animals shot just to watch em die, etc. again I understand the need for predation/damage controls, but to call it hunting is not acceptible.
