Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting The 300 Wby Mag for elk- is there anything better?

" After 10 days of hard hunting most people will attempt a less than perfect shot.."

And there is the problem. Hunters get the idea that the magnums will make up for a less than perfect shot and take those shots because of it. Knowing full well they should put the safety back on. I'm not talking about when an animal might move at the last minute when he trigger is tripped,but when the hunter knows full well the shot is questionable.

It is the same as those hunters that pay $2000-$3000 in expenses and a hefty fee for the tag that go ahead and take a questionable shot because for that kind of money,they can't go home and eat tag soup.

"has mules for the job, and is willing to keep them year around for the hunting he does.. That is fine.. Most folks don't do that.."

There are a lot more hunters that do,than people imagine.
