THREEBAND made me do it.

At times you guys are nuts..... But you sure can be funny.

Wow! Those Gobbler Guillotines look like "cop-killer arrows." Wait'll the antis hear about them.

Arrows used to be shot from guns. They had leather wrapped around the shaft to form a "bore-filling bulge."

In 1588, as he prepared to sail with the English fleet to face the Spanish Armada, Sir Walter Raleigh wrote a request for additional supplies, adding, "...forget not the arrows for the gonnes."


Good thing the Spaniards didn't have any Moas with them, or history might have gone very differently.

Anyway, load those Gobbler Guillotines in a large-bore muzzleloader, and have at the Moa. It's got the style I look for, though I think it might annoy the Moa.

Meanwhile, what's this nonsense about Moas being extinct? Didn't you see the photographs I posted? Sheesh...

Here's a smallish one that's been trained to play the piano. I think the guy in the red shirt is a Zombie. Consider the implications!

Umm...but....moa are extinct.....

If we don't write or call Frito lay and support other pro gun causes, our guns may sure be gonnes one day.

That guy in the picture is wearing a fanny pack and his hand is blurry. You sure he is not drawing on that there moa? Looks like a good shoot to me--the moa has broken into his house and is apparently about to beak him with that pointy beak.

The moa clearly has intent, opportunity and capability. Hopefully the guy has a pistol cam and we can armchair quarterback his shoot in a few months when the footage hits the intertube. Also we can judge his choice of caliber, the effectiveness of the cartridge selection, and revamp our "what caliber for moa?" arguments. Finally some real world data.

Hrmm, makes me want to order some custom targets with moa silhouettes.

I'm going to send an email off to my rep and see if we can't moa hunting seaon on the books - maybe even a bounty. Those things are vicious! You're right John828, that thing could just bend over to scratch an itch and BAM! - beak through the skull.

But where in heck are the vitals?

I still stand by my choice of .357. Difficulty level? Snub-nose.

Zombies are real and anyone who doubts it should read MHI

You're a brave man, BlackBearME, going after the elusive Moa with a snub-nose .357.

True the Martini is a single shot, but the bayonet is a comfort in Moa-country.

Wasn't it Pres. Jimmy Carter who said, "Less is moa?"

One thing for sure, that critter would make for plenty of McNuggets...

Yes this is a little late but if I was going Moa hunting I'd take my Browning BT-99. with XX full turkey choke with an 1-1/4 oz of 2's & 4's mixed. Bet that'ed bring one of them babys down.

Sorry, for not letting sleeping dogs lie. I just had to revive this thread. For some reason, I think it is my all time "blowing off steam" thread.

I thought I remembered this thread. I'm setting an event timer to bump it every 6 months.

Big critters require big guns... couldn't go wrong with this one!

I remember stories told by my uncle about him being chased down by a Moa when he was a kid in Tennesee... Luckily he had his pet unicorn with him to protect him!

You forgot

I'd go for Muay Thai personally, I think I could knock it unconscious with my feet.

Weren't they made extinct by aboriginees with spears and atlatls?

I thought it was the Gobbler Guillotines that made them extinct.....

Moa's the pity.....

Use whats good for everything, 30-30. Just don't ruin the breast meat, and I'd get all of the lemon-pepper IGA has on the shelf. Does Ronco make a rotisserie that big? Set-it and forget-it.
