Not really wanting to start an argument or flamefest but I've noticed a disturbing trend IMHO.
I've been noticing the number of posts lately where individuals are asking about inferior calibers beyond what conventional wisdom or experience(and sometimes state laws), suggest being adequate killing calibers. This applies to the handgun group as well as the rifle group equally.
I wonder why anyone would go on a hunt, undergunned, intentionally, and maybe illegally, just to see if it could be done.
I truly see this as casting a bad light, and or unethical actions on us, the sport hunting crowd.
I think we have a moral responsibility to dispatch our prey quickly, humanely, and effectively. This at least makes us appear to be serious and professional about what we are doing.
We don't need to give the tree hugging, gun hating, vegans any more ammo than they already have, do we?
