Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game when is a Nosler Partition not adequate?

I did mean Predator... Sorry for the confusion

I probably deserve it.......

Think outside the bubble, It doesn't have to be Afghanistan, domestic terrorists can also have wired vests and grenades,
so anyone required to directly deal with such many well face the prospect that pelvic shots will end in delay and disaster.
Whats appropriate for your level & line of work doesn't necessarily apply to the requirements of other more demanding tasks.

However, in regard to hunting, I surely would put an appropriately capable bullet in the hips of injured game thats fleeing,
(if that was the best avail. shot option) simply in order to try and anchor the beast to prevent a tracking job and to reduce
any extended suffering to the animal.

Ive had heated debate with folks that though there was something wrong with busting a wounded buffalo or lions hips that
might be escaping to hide in long grass. For the life of me I can't understand why someone would just stand there and watch
them make it to cover if they have a cartridge capable of stopping them and when a potential headache was preventable.

So you have no actual experience with "combat shooting", "gunfights", or "pelvic shots".... that's pretty disappointing.... I thought we were in the presence of greatness.

PS.... do you shoot Partitions in your carry pistol in case you need to go all JeffO on Charlie?

I always learn so much in these threads.

As for me, the Partition isn't a consideration for how I'm hunting. I'm sure it works for some people, doesn't for me.

well, sneak closer so they'll work.....

Oh I have plenty. What is yours? I have eighteen years on the civilian side and a few more military. Like I said you take what you get and weigh every situation differently. A head or center mass shot isn't always offered. Preferred ammo of the day is HST. But things change like everything.

What I've learned is that I now have "Little" respect for you. I always thought you to be a hunter, but now that I see you rely on the BC crutch to compensate for a lack of ability, my perception has changed. LOL

Laughing... Need all the help I can get!



Can't get low enough to stay under the skyline, so I'm forced to shoot from the ridges.

Never been in on an "entry raid".... never been in a "gunfight"....

I did whip a bunch of bitches asses in a Sorority House pillow fight once... and I did have to "shoot" a couple of those gals in the pelvic area. Though admittedly it wasn't with a pistol.... I used the "short mag" for that. But you are correct... every situation is different, and sometimes you gotta take what you can get. Two "5's" add up to a "10".... right?

Ah, so that's why you have a thing for coyotes, woke up with a few, eh?

Partitions are the greatest thing to happen to hunting since the Butt-Out tool.

In that situation I would like to think ole J.O.C. would call me so that I could buy a dozen of those.

Now that's just bragging. I'm seriously jealous. Hell, if you left early enough they'd prolly be all tens.

Did the butt-out tool come before or after the thutty-thutty?

Now that was an innovation. That and smokeless powder.

Slow day at the office....

It's not "ass shots" anymore man..... now they're referred to as "pelvic girdle" shots....
