I shoot my Artillery's and Navy 9MM stocked pistols out to 200 yards with good accuracy and they hit hard. I also shoot my stocked .30 Luger with similar results. I think accuracy is key to a clean kill. The 9MM was good enough for the Germans on 170 LB men, should work on a good sized animal if shot placement is correct.
The first and only deer I ever took was with a .30 Carbine, a one shot kill.
I must agree with Tac on one point, You owe the animal respect and an instant and clean despatch. Ideal as this is, it is not always possible even under the best of circumstances. Something to think about and strive for however.
Personally, after my War years I have no desire to see anything killed. Animals in particular. I do not object to hunting, I know it is necessary to harvest but I don't want to participate. Of course, I would do so were circumstances such that it were necessary.
I do love shooting...Golf balls are my favorite prey.
