“Being that this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world …” I didn’t finish the line from the 1970s movie, “Dirty Harry,” which put the .44 Magnum on the map. My hunting buddy’s laughter as he said, “I don’t think he cares,” had me laughing at myself.
We weren’t hunting at the time, just out scouting for moose before the season. The seismic trail we followed was lined with thick brush on either side and the brown bear, whom I was speaking to, had stepped onto the trail maybe 30 yards ahead of us.

Kidding aside, probably the best choice for really, REALLY large dangerous mammals in the wild is a Marlin Guide Gun (or comparable) in 45-70, using Garrett's unparalleled cartridges.
Garrett's claim is that their heaviest loads will shoot end-to-end through a Cape Buffalo.
Yeah. That oughtta do it. I think. [grin] |

TO REMEMBER |
| The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so. Indeed I would go so far as to say that the underdog is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order. — Adolf Hitler, April 11, 1942. (Source: "Hitler's Table-Talk at the Fuehrer's Headquarters 1941-1942", Dr. Henry Picker, ed. (Athenaeum Verlag, Bonn, 1951).) |
