Hmm, I always wanted to go on safari. I just never expected to have to go to Arkansas to do it.

It sounds like the local with the '06 has the right idea. I'd just want to place my shot real well shooting a 600 lb. dangerous cat if I was shooting it with an '06. Unless my wife was backing me up with a .50 that is....

The .30'06 is a wonderful cartridge, but I wouldn't think that anything less than .375 Holland & Holland would be reliable lion medicine.

I don't want 'em coughing with annoyance as they charge me, I want 'em to drop in their tracks.

When Mr. Winchester talks, lions listen! :-D

In Texas, they would be classified as exotic game animals. Any that escape from that property is fair game as long as you have a hunting license and permission from the land owner from which you will be hunting on.

You might want to try a cottontail distress call. A taped recording is preferred since you do not want the target to home in directly to you. Set your tape player about 40 yards down-wind from your position. It is preferred if the wind is cross to your position.

Ha, just had a mental image of Reba McIntire in Tremors (speaking to husband Michael Gross) - "You didn't get penetration even with the elephant gun, good Lord!"

ROTFL!

"I'd just want to place my shot real well shooting a 600 lb. dangerous cat if I was shooting it with an '06."

That would be what we in the South call "Gun control"!

Have you ever seen a 600 pound lion?
