It's fairly simple to ferret-out those who have the most experience with actual game killing, and those wedded to their own biases based on very little experience with killing game, but a lot of toilet-side reading.
The former aren't especially hung up on cartridge/bullet combos, the latter ALWAYS are...
Well, guilty as charged. I have spent a lot more time on the toilet than I have in Africa and Alaska combined. I hunted Africa with a borrowed 7mm Mauser and Alaska with my beloved 35 Whelen and 225 gr Partitions. My bookshelves are sagging with books written by Bob Hagel and Peter Capstick and others like Elmer Keith and Jack O Connor. I am hoping that Phil will write a book someday. I would love to read it. whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
