Someone mentioned earlier that they have not killed that many animals. Well I've killed hundreds.

A CNS shot, they are DRT.

200 Gr. Nosler Accubond, 325 WSM

Sever the Spine/vertebrae and they drop and paddle. Does not kill like a CNS Shot, and often you need to finish up with a second shot if one wants to be humane.

225 gr. Accubond, 350 Rem Mag. Dropped at the shot.

Heart/lung shots in heavy cover is a good way to lose an animal. Had to track each of these by blood trail.

110 gr. Accubond, 25-06. High lung shot, ran +/- 120 yds.

I tend to favor 7mm and up. May not be necessary, but I like the margin of confidence. Shot placement is paramount.

Best,
