Hunters today are in an endless search for the perfect cartridge/firearm to compensate for their "LACK" of time afield, hunting skills, and inability to shoot "off-hand". They are skilled paper shooters off of a bench but are lacking in the skill to shoot "off-hand". So called hunters today were not born and raised on ranches or farms, but in some level of urban or suburban environment.

A person today who thinks of themselves as a hunter, are primarily skilled in internet searching to compensate for living decades harmoniously with the species they aspire to harvest. They desire to know where the desired species lives in abundance, the cheapest way to get there, what qualities about that species makes it a trophy in the eyes of their friends, and fellow internet so-called highly skilled hunters. The endless quest for approval of others and in an endless search for being accepted by theme self as achieving manhood.

For far too long society has lacked an acknowledged "right-of-passage" for males to social acceptance of "manhood".

That is an outstanding reference of pictures. Thought I was looking in the mirror last year, not now though. Lost that fatty fatty.

Would it actually be safe to say that the 30-06 is an really good choice because of availability? Logistics from someone traveling there, living there on a shorter term of a few years, or even budget constraints could dictate what tool is chosen. In those terms is the 30-06 tips in the field despite its limitations?

As cool as the massive huge 338 and 375 ultra capacity cartridges are there's still weight limitations, component issues at current times, and some folks are truly just better off getting an 30-06 and putting the real money in better optics and shooting more ammo on their budgets.

How does an 30-06 or other choice fit and work with those parameters? Seriously.
