Darrik, that is a phenomena apparently unique to Texas. They are under the impression their game is Kevlar coated.


Tom - taint just Texas. Any deer camp I've shared in Saskatchewan or Manitoba, 3/4 of the hunters bring/brought .300 Winchester magnums because the'd all read/heard/seen the deer are a lot bigger than at home. But that's more on the hunters than the outfitters - the outfitters in those places know better.
