Salty how is it childish? We are laughing yes, but it's all in good fun. Like James said, "Dead is dead" and in the end does it matter if I killed does with a 50cal or a 22/250? Sure the thought of it is kinda funny while being a lil intimidating at the same time, but what the heck? Most folks would LOVE to have a buddy just walk in and plunk down his 50 cal and tell you to basically, "Have at it"! I will probably only shoot one doe with it mainly because it is just not going to be that terribly easy to manuever thisthing around in the field. I plan on shootingup the rest of the ammo I havewith a couple of buddies during the middle of the day for "fartsNgiggles".

If I were out to disrespect the animalI would be using incindiary rounds to setthem afireor armor piercing and waiting until they were behind a tree and shooting through it to get too them (which HAS been done on big game with 50s in the past! There was a film at the Shot Show several years ago which featured just such.) but I am not going to do that, I am simply going to be shooting them at reasonable distances (less than 600yds) with a simple 650grn FMJ and will still put the bullet right behind the shoulder. I am hunting on a large, multi-thousand acre tract of land so the danger of hitting something 2k yds away is not a worry. If it were I certainly wouldn't be doing it. I just would like to honestly be able to tell my customers who ask, "What does a 50BMG do too a whitetail?" Hell I been curious of that myself for a long time.

Some folks mainsprings are just wound a lil tight I reckon!
