It looks like a nasty flesh wound, the kind that light, thin jacketed varmint bullets make when used for the wrong game. That picture (which looks ghastly and proves nothing) and the fact that you've long since exhausted your intellectual ammo is prima facie evidence of your lack of...

"You do realize that you can buy .224" diameter bullets designed for animals much larger than "varmints" Which one do you recommend for a 300 lb whitetail or a 400 lb black bear? I'd like to read the manufacturer's spec on it. I see pictures of smallish deer (some from obviously weak gene...

Yeah, I knew of a couple of criminals who poached golf course deer at night with .22 rimfire rifles and they weren't concerned about humane kills, but only in remaining undetected. If you don't count the deer that run away and bleed to death under some bush, then many guns are fine choices...

There are some "Rooney Guns" pictured. http://www.thegunzone.com/rooney.html

The bullet's design is an engineering feat intended to balance the penetration and the bullet's controlled expansion to effectively harvest critters. It's not that simple to make a bullet that will hold together (and not shatter like thin jacketed varmint bullets, resulting in ghastly but...

A Model 1500 Howa is a fine production rifle and the pinnacle of Japanese gun making. My old S&W was made by Howa over 30 years ago, and it has the finest lines of any rifle I've ever owned. "Howa Rifles Howa rifles outshoot well known rifles costing hundreds of dollars more. Many...

The expert deer hunters I know at nearby Fair Hill, MD take them "Bullwinkle deers" with 7600s and 180 gr REM PSPs. The fast follow up when needed more than compensates for the gun's "acceptable hunting accuracy", as opposed to punching bench rest one hole groups. Them good ol' boys have...

rizbunk77: Good post. A careful reading of my post will show that I didn't recommend cleaning after every outing. I specifically said that after firing a single shot I'd leave the bore fouled to constitute the "oil shot". This is the first shot which often results in flyers when bench...

3-IN-ONE oil is a petroleum distillate not mineral oil, and its no different than the stuff we used to get in gun cleaning kits from SEARS or where ever. For pinpoint lubing of moving parts its fine, but like most oils it will run off or soak into foam or fabric gun cases and leave metal...

Cosmoline, Do you have links detailing these attacks? The circs are important. Generally speaking, human proximity to wolves does not automatically result in attacks. And, when a wolf attacks a human it should be examined to determine why it took place. "Because wolves are toothy predators!"...

spartywrx: So, she mangled your quote, huh? Consider yourself fortunate that she didn't write, "Peter Howard has used deadly force in the past, and ""...he dropped like he was pole axed!"" Howard said with a big, toothless smile...

One cannot as a matter of law intentionally put one's self in harm's way or escalate danger then justifiably claim self defense. Too many inexperienced people swagger when armed and then they end up making headlines that law abiding gun owners could do without. Needless to say our very...

Zoogster, excellent post! Let's not overlook the fact that many humans back then wore animal skins as clothing, unlike today where synthetics (GORE TEX anyone?) and treated fabrics dominate the market. At least one modern researcher claims that there are no verified cases in modern times of...

Blowingsky posted my best remedy. A copper penny works well. And, thanks to Curator for that tip! Modern pennies are copper-plated zinc and they'll work, too but the thin copper wears away from the coin edge very quickly so you should turn the coin often while scraping. Neither copper or zinc...
