I have been invited to join a planned hunting excursion to a wildlife preserve in Northcentral Pennsylvania to take place in January 2008; I am planning to hunt either a large red stag deer and/or a medium exotic like a gazelle or impala; the reserve owners state that the longest average shots are @ 100 yards; I have not hunted anything larger than Pennsylvania whitetail and wish to equip myself with the proper type of firearm for a 'clean' kill;
1) for an animal like a large red stag deer or elk, what rifle caliber (common & established) would be enough for a 'clean' kill
2) for an animal like a gazelle, impala, or ram, what rifle caliber (common & established) would be enough for a 'clean' kill
3) for an animal like a gazelle, impala, or ram, what type of shotgun slug (sabot vs rifled) would give me a 'clean' kill out to 100-125 yards
Tanx!
