I think you nailed it. The largest percentage of BG hunters in N A are shooting Deer. Thats why any conversation of this type is usually biased to the smaller sized Big Game, and thus to the smaller calibers. There is certainly no doubt that they are right.

Change the geography and species a bit and I think you would see a big change in the conversation... but always with the usual few exceptions .
