223 would be the most common I would suspect. On a big buck roo, you would want to head or neck shoot them as their sternum is very hard and some have very well developed shoulders. Having said that, you wouldn’t need anything more than a 243 or the like.
Not many rats have a pouch and three babies on the go at once all at different stages of development. It is part of the reason so they are so prolific. Can’t walk backwards either. They are a truly unique mammal.
You’d be right. It is one of those meats that seems to be a bit polarising. Some like it, some eat it once and never again. Highly regarded for heart health. Like most game, better on the rarer side than well done.
I have a couple of feral horses to knock over this weekend. Will see if we can find them. They have been running through fences and giving his riding horses hell.
Thought I would share this with you guys just for something a little different. I am off hunting this weekend and just wanted to make the 300wm was sighted in. 180grain nosler ballic tips were doing very nicely. It was the entry to the range that put a smile on my face.
