I never said the 243 wasn't enough gun, way to many discussions on that one already, I just said for myself, I would not use it. But also I have a friend that hunts a ranch in Arcadia and because of the # of lost deer with a 243, they don't allow them.
well..we just dont let poor shooters hunt.
if ya cant get a nice group at 100 yards, ya keep on shooting til ya do.
when you're not "patient" enough to wait for a good shot, you are a poor hunter.
I dont, nor do I know anyone who will, hunt with people who cant shoot...
thats why guys dont get to go home to their family's.
if they cant shoot, chances are they dont have enough time on firearms to be safe with them.
not only a safety hazard, but bad ethical decision to let them hunt.
