There’s times when you have to walk away, and that’s if they don’t present a decent angle, or of it’s too windy for the distance.

Na, haven’t shot an elephant with my .22 @Gibo but I did shoot a spiker with it out spotlighting possums. Never again.

My first years of hunting were goat culling on a family farm - predominantly with a .22lr. That’s how I was taught, knew no different. There were limits though, head and neck shots only and the ammo of choice was Winchester Lazer.

I'm considering taking mine for wild cattle in October.

the biggest fuckups I have seen trying to kill animals with a rifle have been cattle and a .22 not pretty at all some of them- and no not me shooting - but there is a common denominator thinking back -1) the 22 probably never zeroed in years 2) the shooters' ability seriously in question - 3) bad shot placement normally to high on forehead - most would have gone down if it had been a 308

Well good fi you young Gimp..the .222 was more than adequate on big scrubby bulls,had to be very carefull though.
Some of the little pill's did have a habit of ..say bouncing off lol.
Whether or not your just talking shit about giving the mad cows a go or not..a 223 will sure as hell do the bizz.
Just do it right lol.
