That's how we hunt too.
I like to hunt in the woods too so my shots are so short the rifle is really trivial a good light gathering scope is more important really.
I've got nothing against a .25-06, just bought a .270 first and of the many other rifles I've accumulated just haven't found the right combo to end up with a .25
I never meant my anecdotal comment about my friend to disparage the .25 just passing on what he said, and he had the experience to comment.
