RE: Are we overgunned? Was Jack O'Connor right?
I think what it comes down to is that everyone has an opinion, and we all think ours is the right one. Do you NEED a gun larger than a .270? No, but a lot of guys out there want one. Bowhunters kill all forms of North American game with what is basically a sharp stick. If you want to shoot a 50 BMG for squirrels, then by all means do so. The thing that bothers me, is when we start condemning each other because we have differences of opinion. I shoot pretty much everything with a .308. Do I think that people who use a 30-30, or a .375 RUM are wrong? No, 'cause it's their choice, and they've got as much right to make that choice as I have to make mine. As long as some jack@$$ ain't telling me that I'm wrong 'cause my choice is different than his, then I say use whatever you want that's legal, and enjoy yourself doing it.
