22, 22 mag to the ribs?
I'm not really opposed.
A friend's dad did just that with a deer that was destroying his garden.
He lived in a good sized field, with a view from the road, and didnt want it
to die in the open. It only went about 100 yards and dropped!
Not even halfway to the woods.
Intentionally gut shooting an animal would be very situation specific.
Can imagine a couple scenarios,
never have done it.
