Tisha,
Most anyone can LEARN to shoot well even with heavy recoil. True, if you buy a large magnum and don't learn how to shoot it then go hunting, your results may leave something to be desired.
Read my signature line. Bullet placement trumps power every time but power always helps (unless you are so afraid of the gun you close your eyes and yank the trigger). Not saying you do.

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
