In partnership with ex-Nasa scientists, hunting supply company Cabela's have constructed a time machine and are offering wealthy clients a once-in-a-lifetime experience to travel to the distant past and hunt dangerous beasts, accompanied by your faithful tracker, gun-bearer, cook, and driver.
As the millionth customer, your local Millet's store presents you with a voucher for one free hunt. How about an excursion to the Jurassic period to hunt Tyrannosaurs? Maybe a day-trip to South America to take on a terror-bird? Or perhaps a weekend in the Ice Age to bag that trophy mammoth and sabertooth cat?
Which monster would you bag? Would you use a modern elephant gun, high-powered rifle, black powder, crossbow, flint-tipped arrows, or javelin? And would you hunt on the move from the safety of a Land Rover, or stalk your prey through the undergrowth?
I'd like to bag a mammoth as its tusks would look good above the fireplace. Its foot would make a nice wastepaper bin for my study and i'd have enough frozen meat to last for months. To bring down such a huge beast i'd need a powerful .470 Nitro Express cartridge and double-barrel rifle, as used to hunt big game in Africa. I'd also take a .44 handgun to get rid of any scavengers trying to steal my prize
Of course. Any extinct prehistoric animal can be hunted. This includes the giant armored fish like the dinicthys (if you have a powerful boat and a very strong fishing rod)
With a .700 rifle, i can imagine TJ bagging the biggest and meanest dinos, like an enraged triceratops, ankylosaurus, or a giant predator like Spinosaurus or Giganotosaurus
This carnivorous species was a carrion who fed upon the rotten flesh of other kill. It went extinct as no-one due to a shortage of sick bags from plains and no one was capable of mating with them without one. It ruled Britain form the cretacious period till the 1990's an fue to a genetic enginering project will most likely rule America tills for the rest of it's existence.
Stupidity got us into this mess, why can't it get us out?

Here's some footage of this creature in its natural environment. What weapon would you hunt it with Toltec?
Indeed, to make thins more even for the competition, I would suggest arming my self with a 7 m/m Remington Mag., and a 3 to four power scope. Backup would be a good 600 Nitro Express round, and a 454 Casull Mag, S&W, with a 6 inch barrel. My main target would be Rex or one of his relatives.

Flash bangs would also be around! Laugh! As would bug repellant!
