The last DWM killed in the line of duty here in Colorado was killed by a round bale falling off a truck(according to my old boss, I never saw a report). Imagine the same can happen to him.

Probably if you could throw it fast enough but you better get him close because the ballistic coefficent on those things are horrible. Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better. True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth. If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

Colorado Division of District Wildlife Manager Philip Mason was killed when a 1,000 pound rolled bail of hay, fell on him while it was being loaded into a truck. This occurred in the Gunnison State Wildlife Area. The incident occurred at approximately 1800 hours, but was not discovered until almost 2230 hours. Manager Mason was the most senior wildlife officer in the state, and had been with employed the Colorado Department of Natural Resources - Wildlife Division for 38 years. He is survived by his wife and two children
