An example of the "bigger is better" disease.
There are three guys I know that have 7mm stw's. None of them hunt anything but whitetails in Alabama and Georgia. One guy had his 7mm Rem mag rechambered. After he did that a friend of his, and mine, had to have his rechambered to the STW also. I asked him why. His answer was "I don't know, _________ talked me into it". Now the first guys son had to have one for Christmas. He bought his chambered for the STW though.
None of these guys hunt anything but whitetails in the South East. They got it bad.
This is what I am talking about. Westerns believe they are the best and most practical hunters around. Do only things that make sense. And I have met more yahoos out in Wyoming, and Utah, than I cared to know. Not saying your one of them. You can find instances of people problaby using tree limbs in the east, but that doesnt mean that Easterners are stupid hunters.
