Why is anyone surprised? Bryce is the modern day Elmer Keith. He only trusts medium to large bore magnums.
He must be from Alabama. Every redneck here thinks he needs at least a 300 win mag to hunt deer. The rifle of choice, Browning,gag!
Vermont. And that really takes the surprise out of it for me. I've spent a good deal of time in VT and the worst things I've ever heard said about the .270 Winchester were said by Vermonters. Evidently it's not unheard of at all to lose a deer in that brush choked dense forest up there because the .270 didn't drop him on the spot and didn't leave a blood trail. I've ran into that in PA too but our woods aren't as thick so you're not as likely to lose an animal.
