Some guys shoot small cartridges because they want to, not because they have to, just like some guys shoot big cartridges because they want to, not because they have to. I'm totally fine with having to get within 300yds of an animal to take a shot, it's a hell of a lot easier than having to get within 60yds with my bow. It's hunting and I'm a hunter, getting close is the fun part. Besides, it's hard to judge a deer at 500yds, I've seen the sad faces of ground shrinkage plenty of times, was even a victim of it once.

Gad Kurt .. your're mellowing out. Good post and I agree 100 %
