Mammals of the Pleistocene Era, which would you like to hunt and what cartridge would you use?

Hell, I would jump in a time machine and hunt them all.

With my 600NE in hand, I would travel from clan to clan to sort out the local issues. Stories would be told, and songs would be sung of my epic adventures. In exchange for my services, I would have breeding rights to the local clan's fair maiden. And, I would pay no taxes.

Life would be perfect.

However, I may need an endless supply of spear throwing PH's to back me up.
 
Although it is fiction, the novel Time’s Last Gift by Philip José Farmer presents an interesting perspective on the Magdelenian period in Europe (including “modern” express rifles). I highly recommend that book!
 
Maybe its not too late to hunt wooly mammoth?
What do you guys say on this video?

WTH???

Then again, The Sun + extremely grainy video, is hardly believable
 
Probably a hoax.
Movie shot at 1943, by German POW?
How many German POWs were having film camera and filming during march to prison camps?
Highly unlikely.

True. But how do you fake something in 1943 on celluloid film?
 
If it is fake, then how do we know it is made on celluloid?
It was just shown on YouTube.
It could be electronically fabricated.

If it is celuloid, then yours stands, with question how come that nobody since then, never made some other footage, maybe in color? Not to mention other things, like tracks and spoor in the woods in wider Siberian area?

Oh, I wish they are still out there... but unlikely.

Your right. Nevermind. I'm sure it's fake.
 
The Russian soldiers guarding the POWs would’ve shot and eaten that thing if it were true. I’m sure they were hungry as hell.
 
The good news is that in the pleistocene epoch the continents were closer together so we could save on flights and shipping trophies! :ROFLMAO:

Short-faced bear (Arctodus Simus) at 2000 to 4000 lbs and located in NA (to again save on shipping fees) would be a great challenge. I'm thinking I'll need to step up my game to 458LOTT or maybe 500J to get that done.

Damn those legs look like that thing could sprint.
 
Australia would a lot of fun for a prehistoric safari
And one animal that hasn’t been mentioned is the dienotherom with its backward tusks

Mammoths and mastodons with my 416 and a guide with a stick and very Brown teeth . His fee? Eat with his clan in a cave and give him the rest of the meat and skin... Keep the skulls and tusks! Now I'm not sure how this dream of yours works... Does the clan bring me home or to a customs and shipping agent near the airport?? LOL at our deer hunting camp we have a shower that looks exactly like the teleporter from Star Trek and someone hung a photo of Spock and Kirk inside it...lol
 
I would be so happy just to roam around that period with a flintlock and see what I could rustle up! Hopefully find me one of those Raquel Welch type cave women...

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
