7mm-08 will do the job with a well constructed bullet.

I have gut shot deer with no side effects to the meat.

I don't recommend the bung hole shot, but if it is a real trophy and it's all I got then I won't let him get away.

I just had a buddy that took two nice carribou in Canada with the bung hole shot. Neither went more than 50 yards. He was using a 30-06, 150gr nosler.
