RE: super magnums?
Advertisers put a positive spin on ads. Nooo, say it ain't so. I think advertisers of different types have been doing that since the dawn of the oldest profession. And you know what that is.
I agree that people ask some crazy quesitons these days about what to bring on a hunt. I have traveled on a few big game hunts and know the insercurity about what to bring and what not to bring. I mean its not easy to come up 4K for a decent hunt. But I learned something very important on the last one while moose hunting in Newfoundland. Its not the caliber I should be worrying about, not the type of glass you have on your rig, not even the binocs, but more of what physical shape you are in. A guy going to Newfie in excellent shape, with a 243Win and a set of tasco binocs, has 5X more of a shot at killing a good moose than a out of shape guy with a 300Win Mag and a set of Leica Binocs. They can push on and cover three times more land, and pass up much more moose to find the one they like.
So really, as long as the gun is a high powered rifle within reason, it really is a moot point.
