Brad,

Here is a key statement from my first post on this topic:

"I determined that if I had a powerful rifle and practiced with it I would get more.


I should have added that means that I will take any safe shot to get that buck! I will shoot at running deer and I practice it.

If someone uses a tiny cartridge he, in theory, might have to pass up some shot on some buck sometime!

I don't want have to pass up that shot.

PS: It's 3F in our Ct backyard, the wind is North gusting at 10


All guns should be locked up when not in use!
