You can only shoot one bear every two years here in the land of 10,000 taxes. So you need to sharpen up your shooting eye on something. Let's see some pictures of varmints that have been "overkilled". 200 gr Sierra FN @2250 fps, Remington 700 SPSDG 375 H&H Magnum. whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I don't have any pictures but I've used 7mm STW, .300 win mag, .338, .375 H&H, .38-55, .45-70, and (a borrowed) .458 win mag on our California ground squirrels. As a little punk kid I shot a few not-to-be-named (not sure of the statute of limitations!) tweety birds with an '06 and 180s. They went clean plumb through. Thar ain't no such thing as overkill. They're all exactly the same amount of dead as the ones I shot with the .22 long rifle, just more entertaining. Tom

I've had lots of fun shooting grounies with a 7mm Mag. What's really fun is getting them when they peak at you from around an oak tree. Just hold a couple of inches into the tree and let fly. E

Those jackals are pretty good looking on the ground I bet they were only 50 yrds in front of you standing still.

Travis...check out my earlier pics posted...love your pick of a 'yote rifle! Mine was tough on the jackals, even with 175 grainers, I had to "arrange" things for the pics, so they werent too gory.. Shot some with a .375 and it did less damage that the 7x57 And BTW..I think that Blackhawk hums... Ingwe

My PH saw it come in and sit down in some tall grass while I was calling...He directed me to its whereabouts...one of these type things "OK..you see that gray branch on that tree...follow it to where it forks...and the dead grass underneath....." I followed his directions and pulled the trigger. First time I actually saw the jackal was the flop after the bang.... Ingwe
