I agree. These dinosaurs should be hunted to the point of extinction.

That’s enough sugar to give that horse diabetes.

Maybe Manya’s pony faced the same end.

Tube fed Henry .44magnum?

Reminds me of that movie Lake Placid.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago, 2 boys from Panama City, FL. killed an over 12 feet long, 780lb one. It was their first time hunting one.

It was in the inter coastal waterway. It was too large to get in the boat so they had to drag it to shore.

I still want a miniature giraffe.

Or maybe a .30-30

Granny looks too sensible to be messing with that critter with a .22

[ManHunter]

Cue the bunny/gator huggers and death threats!

[SkyDancer]

My dad’s 1894 Winchester 30-30 can’t have a scope mounted like her’s - it’d have to be offset unless it’s a Marlin. I’m still thinking Henry because of the hexagon barrel.

The magazine tube looks to be not a large enough diameter for a rimmed .44 using the barrel for scale.

Or .30-30

Is she really peering down the scope at that range? At that distance, just point. You’ll hit it.

Could be. I don’t think she took that ‘gator down with a .22 though so maybe a 30-30 ???

Could be. I don’t think she took that ‘gator down with a .22 though so maybe a 30-30 ??? Plus it doesn’t look like she’s holding the rifle correctly - using glasses with a scope and her eye relief looks too far away.

Granny would make Sarah Palin proud of her

If you all want a good laugh, look up Pinkard and Bowden’s song, “There aint nothing funny about a woman with gun”.
