OK, now I've seen everything on this BB. I guess the next thread will be about the best load and choke for velociraptors...

Let me give this a shot,pun intended.

While the head's a small target, tackling this like a large turkey makes sense. All that neck means lots of CNS exposed, and my guess is that a load of #4 buck delivered at a range/choke that keeps the pattern say a foot across or less, will do the job nicely.

I do think I'd want a cool hand on backup with a BFR like that 303 or 308. BFR, of course, means Big Feral Rifle.

BTW, I heard Emu makes great jerky. Let us know, please...

HTH....
