Has anyone run across outfitters that have a " nothing smaller than this caliber" rule for their clients?
That makes no sense on the outfitters part, I would take that to mean I could show up with a .32 special, 30-30 or some such, but not a 270 or a .25-06 which have killed many a elk...now don't anyone get yer panties all in a bunch I did not put down the .32 or the 30-30 both of those rounds have killed untold numbers of deer,elk and bear of all sizes, both of theses rounds are out and out deadly to game in the brush and close in...I was just trying to point out how silly the restriction sounded!!
