The hunt should be entertaining, however to me there is much more to the hunt than splattering an animal to hear the WHOP. The hunt is entertaining, the kill is a small part to me but thats one fools opinion I guess.
Actually, I think ALL aspects of the hunt are entertaining; however, the threadaddresses the suitability/possibility of taking antelope with 460 Weatherby and the results thereof plus picks up some wild imagings along the way. It does not, however, address the touchy feely/above the fray/nebulousaspect of "how big a part of the overall huntdoes the actual taking of the animal count for?"
All the silly stuff (16" naval gunsand B-52's [even your 8" naval guns on occasion]) is what wouldtruly "splatter" an antelope and make a really big "whop", sorry....
The big bore willsimply make a nice convincing hole and put 'em down without all that much mess, as an antelope just won't provide enough medium to really open it up....unfortunately Ican't change theK-THUD that you apparently find objectionable.
No comment onyour fool's opinion.
And so it goes: big bad hunter, poor little bambi critter
