That's fine if you want to hunt whitetails with your .375H&H but don't belittle the fellas still keeping the classic .30-30 in the fields.
Yeah, what he said!

Guys (with the massive heat seeking missile, 8000 fps, monster rifles).... It's cool. If we hunted together, I don't see a problem with you up on a ridge overlooking a big farm field from 1/2 mile away. That's fine... Just don't shoot me, 'cause I'm going to be down in the brush, and alongside the heavy thickets with my trusty 30-30. That's the type of hunting I do. There is a certain charm anda certain legendary vibe factor you get with hunting deep with a 30-30, like, how many others before you have done the same thing?
