That 50 caliber round is going to do more bad things for hunting and Hunter ethics that It ever will anything good. It seems that guys who have too much money buy them a 50 cal. Then realize they're worthless can't even shoot them many places and then They want to shoot a little deer with it that's just crazy. The 50 Cal BMG should be illegal to hunt with.i won't use 750 grains of bullet in 4 deer seasons.

I saw my cousin shoot a hill country deer with his 50 cal and it put a hole the size of a baseball in it. Keith Warren tries to make this practical but it’s clearly just for “cool factor”. So silly. Does this guy even hunt low fence places? He’s ridiculous

We've shot some pigs with .50 BMG expecting some awesome carnage even when using FMJ. It simply didnt work out that way, zipped right through them. This boar was just over 200lbs, shot at right around 70 yards.





No, its not practical and I'd personally never shoot a game animal with it and I certainly dont buy that it "sucked its eyes out"

That was my first thought.

I guess I don't care if he shot a deer with a 50. I bought a rifled barrel for my shotgun and a muzzleloader to shoot deer with just because. I don't like him in the least but couldn't care less that he shot a deer with a 50. I'm actually pretty happy he made a head shot instead of taking a chest shot like I thought he was going to do... that would have been ugly.

While I agree this is massive overkill I dont understand people calling it unethical. What culd be a cleaner kill than a huge bullet to the head?

^^^ Exactly. Even the impact of the bullet on the tree behind the deer is inline with the eyes.

"That bullet sucked the eyes right out of her head!!!" That's funny right there! Yeah, the 50 is so bad [censored] that if you shoot close enough it will suck your eyes out!

50 cal for deer, why not. Just make damn sure you know your back stop. That bullet will still go a LONG ways before coming to rest.

Illegal? I bet you and Keith have a lot more in common than you think.

Wasn't 50 cal. illegal to hunt deer with a few years ago, except in muzzle loader?

Never saw any regulations about the 50 not being legal to hunt deer with. met a retired gentleman in East Texas that used one on hogs at his house. Neat setup, bulldozed out in the side of a hill 1k from his house as a backstop. Yard light over feeder for lighting up hogs at night. Shooting bench on back porch. See the hogs at the feeder, take the 50 out setup and wait for a few to line up. Said 3 at a shot is not uncommon but was still trying to get 4 on a shot.

Setup like that would be fun and safe since he owns the land and has the backstop. I would like to shoot some hogs with the 50 but having a safe shooting zone is problem most of the time.

Mainstream news might be fun to watch

That is why I haven't done it. Far too much to go wrong on my place and none of my landowners would even begin to entertain such a notion, LOL.

That bullet is not going to expand on flesh and bone. It goes right through and keeps on going. I agree that it went through the eyes.

I've gotten 5 pigs in 1 shot with a 7mm Rem Mag. Gotten 4 a couple of times as well. 3 is common with the 308. The key is to make a line with the corn so they line up for you. I don't need a 50 BMG, but it would be fun to have one if I had a place to safely shoot it.


It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

That dude seems like a real obnoxious jerk.

I wouldn't allow anyone to shoot a .50BMG on my place, unless at the range with a known backstop. Shooting 1 without a developed backstop is dangerous & asking for trouble.

The kill is fine to me the hype and someone trying to video exploding game and eyeballs sucked out will only be used against ethical hunters.

The last thing we need is a law saying any specific cartridge is too much for deer hunting. That is the classic slippery slope and you might surprised at how quickly your trusty old 300 Win. Mag could be the next one down. You have to remember laws like that are generally written and passed by people who have no idea which end of a gun to shoot and wouldn't go hunting if their lives depended on it. They still don't understand what an "assault rifle" is for God's sake. Nope, I'll just keep the decision of which gun to hunt with at home where it should be.

The rancher with 500 acres adjourning our lease shot a doe in the middle of his pasture with his newly acquired 50 BMG just to see it "knock the snot out of her". She ran a good 100+ yards after a double lung shot at 250 lazered yards that produced a half-inch hole in and out with not a lot of internal damage. He was bummed!

It's a lot of fun hunting with my 45-70. It's slow, but it knocks the snot out of what it hits.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.
