It has to be asked: what cartridge for

late-dinosaur-age chicken?
If you took a chicken, crossed it with an ostrich, bulked it up to 500 pounds, stretched it out to roughly 11 feet, put a bony crest on its head (like some ancient Greek helmet), added a dinosaur tail and a pair of forelimbs with five-inch claws, and then, finally, stuck some feathers on it ... you would have what paleontologist formally calls Anzu wyliei.
Depending on range, I'm thinking 12-gauge magnum buckshot or something in a nice .30-caliber.

  1. After looking at the picture, I'd prefer anything .375 and up, preferably from over 150 yards away.

  6. Figure the scattergun in close cover; further, yeah, something bear suitable, that's one BIG chicken.
