[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1133559, member: 4235"] I think when hunting that type of game, it is inhumane to use anything less than the big magnum calibers (.416 Rigby, .460 Weatherby Mag, .470 Nitro Express, .50 BMG, etc.)... otherwise you'll risk just wounding him. Have you ever had to track a wounded turtle's blood trail through the high veld for a week, just so you can put the poor old chap out of his misery? Not a good experience. Also, have you ever been charged by a full-grown male turtle? There is a big difference between a cartridge that is capable of KILLING him and one that is capable of STOPPING him. [/QUOTE]
