There is a difference between hunting an animal at hunting distance versus walking up to a restrained animal and dispatching it with a head shot.nyj wrote:What isn't to get about using an underpowered load?
A .22 will kill deer, but doesn't mean you should use it. If you're not going to use the right load for the job, at least get a good kill shot or use something adequate.
There have been an awful lot of pigs and cattle dispatched with a .22 behind the ear prior to slaughter. Quite effectively, I might add.
This guy used a 9mm on a restrained animal to effectively dispatch it. Nothing to see here. Move along.
