Woodseye hit the nail on the head!!!! If a guy wants to hunt deer with an Elephant gun and brag about it that is fine if he can shoot the gun. He is not risking crippled game to inflate his ego. He may brag about his ability to shoot the big camons, carry heavy rifles all day and more but he is not trying to show off his dead eye ability at the expence of a living creature. Way back I said if you can not handle the tool necessary to do the job right then do not do it. Well the guys with the big guns go to the extreem but they get the job done, and fast! You might be suprised, but the guy with the .375 H&H will do less meat damage to his deer then the guy with a .300 Win Mag. No point in arguing here I have hunted deer with both, well it was a .308 Norma, alittle hotter then the .300 Win but not much, and my .366 which has 5775 foot pounds of energy with a light load. As the old Chinese saying goes. " It is not to say that one can not get the job done with a small tool, It is to say that the chance of satisfaction is greater with the larger tool."
