Just pointing it at them would make them surrender

I think that qualifies as a humane kill. Good on you for that! Nice rifle! -Tutt

Good Job stopping that charge...!!!!

I've been given to understand those critters can mangle a man's ankles if you let'em get to close to you.

I am surprised that there was anything left to grab a hold of for the picture.

I have an older Marlin 1895 Cowboy with a 26" barrel that was worked over by Bob Munden. Used to take it out shooting gophers. Loaded 300gr cast over 12.5 gr unique for right at 1,100 fps. Loads of fun!

).

I have a Winchester 94 in 25-35, Lyman tang sight, bore looks like a sewer but it still shoots well, I load up 60 grainers and a case about full of 4895. We don't have gophers here but I use it on prairie dogs, any critter within 150 yards is meat in the pan.

Well, I guess if there's not a .50-110 handy, that'll have to do.
