[QUOTE="Firpo, post: 4015766, member: 45550"] Sounds like you did a great job and saved the poor beast from suffering. Sadly, many horses are badly wounded by well intended people trying to put them down by shooting them in the brain. A horses brain is the size of a walnut and easily missed if you’re not confident and educated on where it’s located. Given your situation I’d use my 300 Win Mag Ruger M77 with a 180 grain bullet screaming at around 3,000 fps. And I’d aim right for the heart just like you would any other animal that won’t let you walk up and put a gun to their forehead. Here’s a pic on where to place the shot and you’ll want to have a trajectory going right down the spine. [ATTACH type="full"]368223[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
