Default RE: .460 weatherby for antelope?

I guarantee that the hit with the 460 will be much more entertaining to watch than the hit with the 270....
followed by:
"....I would hate to see someone not entertained by watching the critter die."
I hope most folks find theirsuccessful huntsentertaining, otherwise "tag soup" will suffice just as well.
I'm thinkingmost folks watch for the the kill uponfiringat gamesince using ones hearing, taste, touch, orsmellto detect the quarrygoing down is generally difficult.
Given as much hooping, hollering, high fiving, big smiling and recurrent storytellingas I've witnessedfollowing great and convincing take downs, most hunters will find it difficult to deny that it is entertaining.

Nothing like flat out hammering your quarry in the early morning chill....
thesound of a heavy K-THUD on impact.... the heavy smell of prodigous amounts of spent nitrocellulosescenting the air....
Looks, sounds, and smells like.... victory.

And so it goes: big bad hunter, poor little bambi critter.
