RE: hunting with the big .50?
You hit the nail on the head, Eyeball..."I'd try it."
That's just the attitude that's going to have 3-legged elk and deer running around.
I had to finish off a doe in WV this year because of some guy who thought "he'd try it." When she ran, her leg was bouncing off her back.
The animals have my respect...This is why I would never shoot an animal from a mile away...or even 500 yards (which is under 1/3 of a mile)
