Because some people don't mind it being challenging that is why some take to the woods with a recurve and wooden arrows.
As long as you know your gun isn't capable of that shot it really doesn't matter. You could use a .270, 308 or 30-06 and still screw that shot up if you didn't have the proper bullet to get enough penetration.

Exactly just because you have a deer out there doesnt mean you automatically have let some lead fly.
Its called self controll. Lots of people have their own land or lease so letting a deer walk because it didnt present a good shot angle is no big deal and is the right thing to do. Now if I were to go on a payed hunt or something like that, then I would pack the heat. My .243 LOL.
