For the poachers, why go to the expense.
A .22lr to the ear will work just as good.
They may flop around a bit, but they’ll stop.
.22 hollow point inserted rectally would do as well. Toss up to catch them without knowing or letting them contemplate what was coming. Just sendin’ a message.
While it might be gratifying on a visceral level to look into their eyes as I pushed my K-Bar through their rib cage... A cloud of pink and gray mist visible through the 9x at 500 yds works too... Damn I miss my old .308...why did I ever sell you?
