Blaming a 30-30 for crippling a deer is like blaming a pen for a mis-spelled word. The people you are helping to track for need to control themselves and take better shots. Period.
Crippler is a term used to describe the shooter not the gun.
Yep. There are plenty of hunters (if you want to call them that) who seem to have trained at the Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship (if you've seen the movies, you'll know what I'm talking about!
). They'll take any and every shot at a deer no matter how iffy it might be on the off chance that they might connect, and when they do it's often a crappy hit. Add a little pride and suddenly the .30-30 just can't kill deer anymore.
