Hello. I’ve been using this list as a reference:
https://guide.sportsmansguide.com/game-guides/
It’s the best one I’ve found, so far. However, I feel that it is very much incomplete, in terms of the game species listed. For example, the following animals are not listed: pigs, alligators, bison, cougars, crocodiles, hippos and rhinos, just to name a few. Also, the category ‘predators’ is confusing. Seeing as how .22 LR is listed for predators, but .30-06 is considered overkill, they must be referring to small predators, 50 lbs or less, like raccoons, opossums and coyotes, because wolves, cougars and bears are predators, but a .22 LR would be underkill on those, by most people’s standards. So, I wish it were more specific and inclusive. Also, it doesn’t include handgun calibers at all. I do like the way it’s formatted, though, so that you can go down the list of calibers and see where they overlap and where they don’t. For example, it’s easy to see that, according to this list, you could have every species covered, with no overlap, with a .22 LR, a .30-06 and a .416 Rigby. Does anyone know of a better source? Thanks.
