Best T-Rex Medicine

I don't think they are like everything else. Think about some birds (basically modern dinos), you can chop a chicken's head off and it will for quite a while.

Exactly what I was thinking, I’ve watching a tom take two body shots from a 12 gauge at 25 yards, flop over and then pop up like nothing happened and run off.

Kinda makes me think a T-Rex could take a lot before it tips over.

Still I think you guys are under gunned, I’m goin M82A1 with a 750 A-max

Interesting choice for a backpack hunt

As I read everything I was all set on my 338 Edge and 300 bergers. But remembered just the other night I had a chance to run a few through a custom built 50 Cal !!
All I can say is Wow it was a Blast !

I'm thinking .577 Tyrannosaur is the logical choice.

You guys are slow studies of dino-lore. Everyone with a gun or it's ilk ends up a dino-turd. Yet a proven approach like a flask of pee in a super soaker has not been mentioned.
McGyver stuff like a reflective mirror, (or shiny kitchen cabinet) duct tape, shoo goo and some fencing wire would be deadly if put together by a young boy or exceptionally attractive girl. In fact the cute/attractive thing seems to be the only sure way to survive, gonna be lots of sat-phones in huge dung piles around here...

I'd want my Ma. Ma Duece, that is. And toss in the M113 APC under it.

I took out my last t-rex with a .22 longrifle .


shot placement is key to any hunting,

WWFFD?


What would Fred Flintstone do? Perhaps jump into the Flintstone mobile, and allow the T-rex to chase him towards the edge of the cliff. As the foot powered car is much more agile than a multi-ton T-rex, the big thunderchicken goes over the cliff to its death on the rocks below.

This thread is too good not to resurrect. I would be packing a custom “lightweight” Barrett in .50 BMG. I wouldn’t worry too much about the weight as the hunt would likely take place in a fairly tropical climate where I wouldn’t need to carry much for shelter or cold weather gear. A 20 pound rifle wouldn’t be out of the question. I’d be shooting a handloaded 750 grain Hammer Hunter over a half pound of RL26.

Like pouring whiskey, you just pour for a few seconds and eyeball it.

If folks are hunting Iguanas with .25 cal air guns who is gonna mathematically deduce the equivalent?

Probably compare the Taylor Knockout factor....



25x800x.25 /7000 = .7143 for a 10lb lizard....

A book size TRex is gonna be 30,000 lbs.

A pack of feral Corgi....

My last shell from last box of .22’s

I'm in the kneecap them till they're down crowd. I'll take my old reliable 30-06AI. I might bump from 168 gr monoliths up to 180 gr's, but that's about all I'd change.

You guys are all such primitives. Why kill what you can tame? Llamas are so passé when you can pack with T-Rex.
T-Rex- the original Diesel engine.
