You shot a cow so soft points are proven effective, is that the point of the post?

Respect is something you earn.

I believe it was a crow, but a cow would have definitely added an interesting dynamic.

Yes, crow, sorry, typo.

I'm still a bit confused as to what is now proven and unquestionable.

It must take a lot of stopping power to drop an Irish crow.

After reading a few posts made by our Irish friend and taking his word choices into account, I have a sneaking suspicion he's being facetious. I can appreciate a little sarcastic humor.

No, just one isn't even an attempted murder. Two would have been attempted murder.  Three and your on to the chair.    Big Grin   Somebody stop me.......

I shot a cow once....well actually, a VERY pissed off Charolais bull "cow" that is. With a 30/30 right between the eyes at 20 yards with a soft point bullet.
Old tough old son of a pup went down, then got back up and shook his head.....and then just looked at me. 
Boom...boom.....he goes down for good.    
If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

I don't know of anyone else who has ever made such a shot on an owl crow.  Someone should call Guinness!

Where did the Owl crow come from? It was surely a Scotch Crow. For century's the Irish have had a feud with the Scotsmen.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

Evidently, there was a little "nest swapping" going on here.
