It seems that the 30.06 is indeed America’s favorite caliber for hunting. I must admitt that its an excellent round that has stood the test of time. What I cant agree on is why anyone thinks that its a great gun for hunting the world. I have heard some say they would use a 30.06 for small game hunting all the way up to recently, the 30.06 will take elephant and even a T-Rex if ofcourse we could find one.

The .30-06 is not perfect. For specialized long-range work, the 7mm magnums are slightly better – and the .300 magnums significantly better. For me, the .30-06 makes a sensible minimum for elk, but I prefer cartridges on the order of .338 Winchester Magnum for such work. The .30-06 is not a dangerous-game cartridge. It is fine for leopard, and okay in a pinch on undisturbed lion, grizzly and brown bear – but it is not a charge-stopper. And it is certainly not suitable for buffalo, rhino or elephant, despite the fact that it has been used for such.

Do you agree ? Give your reason
Papa,

Do you have the ability to read ? My question is do you agree or not and give reasons for either. It is in the form of a question. I gave my opinion as a question and asked if you agree ?
To stop any futher answers about one shot one kill tactics with the smallest calibers out there, I would like to bring up that a perfect placed shot on a Elephant with a 375 H&H will not drop, stop or kill it in under five minutes. This is a heart shot !

This is exactly what im taking about BTW ! Continuing to stress that a caliber like a 30.06 could be used on a dangerous animal will only get people to think its will be ok to do such. This will not end well. Lets just assume that someone is looking at these forums and sees these post. Oh I can use my 30.06 for that buffalo in Africa next week. Guess what, if you have a guide, he wont even take you out ! If you somehow have access and means to do it on your own or with friends, you will end up dead !

Nice answer. I respect that.
Points well made guys. Thank you for your responses reguardless if you agree with me or not. I respect everyones opinion.

I caught 3 of these while crappie fishing one day, 40 lbs., 25 lbs., and 10 lbs. all on 4 lb test crappie line, and haven’t caught one since. Please include entire rig details and where to look for them.

I love fishing and I’m tired of catching small ones.The biggest fish I ever caught was a 3 foot shark.What pond test of line should I use.And what bait and liter?

I’m fishing in the lake and i don’t quite know if i have my line hooked up correctly.I have a 20lb test line and a #2 hook.I would like to know, should the weight or the hook be at the bottom of the line?And how far apart should the hook and the weight be from each other?

I was using a lightweight “test” It is good for the fish I wish to catch, but it keeps getting tangled. Others were using similar weight line and it is working fine. They have caught some crappies, perches, and bluegills. Please help. I am tired of coming home empty handed.
