Sorry if this is a re-post. It seems I would have remembered it if it was though…

Deer hunting with a 12-pound howitzer.

Because buckshot in a 12 pounder cannon isn't ****ing sporting. No challenge to it.

Indeed, it would be far more sporting if the deer could fire back. Say, oh a 155mm field gun.

300yds with my .270 is more rewarding.

if they could peg the deer from that distance with solid shot, then it's sporting.
