Just curious, how do you put them down in the field? I assume just shoot them. If so, what caliber?
22mag. Solid fmj 40gr bullets.
The previous owner of the locker plant was GOOD, but 40+ years of experience you get that way. When he went on "cow safaris" Charlie used a 30.06. In later years that's what he used in all emergency bull jobs. He just didn't move that fast anymore.
We had an emergency on a January day that the high was below zero. A bred hfr broke her Canon bone out in a pasture. When Charlie got there he went right to my gun rack in the shop. He said he left the plant in such a rush that he for got to grab his rifle. He wanted to know if the 22lr on the rack worked.
He rode out to the pasture on the steps of the loader tractor. 40yrs from the hfr, iron sights, using the running tractor for a rest. One shot, never knew what hit her.
