IDK I think I straddle the fence. I have many larger caliber rifles but I have been hunting with my smaller to medium bore rifles quite a bit. I shot probably more than 150 caribou and 2 or three moose when I was teaching in Ambler with a Remington 788 22-250. They had quite liberal caribou limits and I was invited to go along a lot. I had the first big bearcat out in that village. It was the last time I was able to take my entire middle school class hunting and we needed to get enough caribou so that several of the older ladies could teach the students how to cut up caribou the traditional way. I started with many bigger 300 Winnies and 338s when I was younger. I went through a 30/06 stage and now I am shooting my Nosler 26 and 28 more and more. I just find the old conversations and arguments interesting. I don't think that many hunters would aim right at the head but you do that alot if you don't care about horn size.
