I remember someone doing a thread along these lines but I don't think it was taken too seriously. (Ok I can understand why, but still) I was at the Nature and Science Museum with the kids today and I couldn't help but wonder how you would actually hunt a dinosaur or mammoth: meaning caliber, shot placement, and gun. Let's assume you were hunting them in a sporting way.
Here are some pix:

I imagine that for the plant eaters a heart/lungs shot would do the job but what about the carnivores?
Here are some pix of mammoths:
