There is absolutely a place and a need for big honking cartridges throwing big honking bullets. That griz in the alders is a perfect example, with similar examples from other continents equally valid.
But the guy who never hunts anything but deer and simply HAS to have a .349 Poundapowder Magnum? Well, that's the magnosterone brag factor, the Tim Allen effect, at work. And there are a LOT of those guys at the range.
If you are talking nothing bigger than Deer then thier is no discusssion..........
