Marlin 336 in 30-30 winchester with 170grain remington corelokts. No need to go fancy if you want a one shot neck drop.

Otherwise you can do it with a 22lr if you place them good.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

Good post. Those same gun writer's insist that you must also use someone's magic $1.00 bullet that is guaranteed to turn a gut shot into a bang flop 100% of the time.

The vast majority of my deer and hogs have been killed at ranges of less than 75 yards. In the past 40 years I have killed over 200 white tailed deer with my .308 and .30-06 using plain old Sierra 150 grain bullets and moderate loads of powder. Have not lost a deer in the past 20 years. Have had a few long tracking jobs because I botched the shot.

Which brings up another point. Many hunters do not follow up on their shot. When the animal does not fall over dead they assume that they missed it. An elk hunter argued that he had not hit a big 7x7 bull but I saw dust fly off the animal. The hunter drove off for home and I went after that elk. Found it dead about 700 yards away. The guy was mad as hades when I told him about tagging his elk.
