The taking of the animal to me is maybe 20 percent. I can only speak for me. Many very entertaining hunts ended up with taking an animal yet the memories of those hunts are next to no others. I can't leave the touchy feely part out when it comes to hunting. Its a passion. I repeat once more for the lovers of recoil, use the 460 with my blessing, it won't hurt me a bit. For some who seem to need their steel tempered , it may lend a hand at that as well.
