Re: classic case of overkill...

Daryl S and 9.3x57, you are both quite right! In the type of hunting described you most often have only seconds to decide and shoot. When shooting at momentarily standing game, I try to get a support for the rifle or my left arm whenever possible. F.i. the kid deer was shot through the base of the neck, intended, at about 75m, left hand holding the foreend braced against an upright pole on my stand. When shooting at moving game using a support is fruitless. The sow was shot running at about 50m, passing the track on the second landscape photo from right to left, behind the beech marked for felling with the red dot. Stance offhand, time allowance from taking aim to firing about two seconds. Hit right through the center of the boiler room, heart and lungs. Some training with your hunting rifle at a "running boar" target or inside a "Shooting cinema" is really recommended! I was just too lazy to write a thorough answer to Bonanza.
