How many of you have ever seen a bear? I have seen hundreds of black bear and two grizzlies.
How many of you have ever shot a bear? (not me, never even close to needing that.)
Seen/Shot a moose? I've seen plenty and shot none.
Been out in more than 3 feet of snow? Many winters for me.
Been out hunting when the temperature is below 0F? Many times, but coldest this year was 2F.
How many large game animals have you shot in snow with a handgun? About 25 big Wisconsin deer for me. I lost count. In my EXPERIENCE, I won't hunt deer with a .357 or even .357 Max again. I had bad experiences with them. .45 Ruger Only LC and .44 Magnum had a much higher percentage of humane kills. A 200 pound white tail is a itty bitty baby compared to a moose. Rifles had a much much higher percentage.
.375 H&H is huge, and appropriate for moose. Getting into an altercation with a moose is a highly unusual event, not something you need to haul pounds of equipment for.
Next, someone will be telling me the best handgun to carry while surfing, to protect from nurse sharks.
There may be a lot of Ph.D's without certain subject knowlege, and some will lack common sense, but the lack of education does not impart wisdom. Not even knowing what you don't know isn't good. For some people, if you own a hammer, every problem is a nail.
