Now days no gun is to big. its nice after the kill though if there is enough of the animal left to idenify and tag. Soon if the trend continues the 338 Win Mag will be minumum for small game up to the bigger rabbits. Its rather amusing as a life long hunter to see where we are going firearms wise. The guns I used to use for elk and moose with good succuess are now a laughing stock. Good thing for me that the animals had not read all the hype especially the bears. If you can carry it yourself and the blast does not start forest fires then by golly its not to big. Here is to a 577 T-Rex in every cabnet. At least until they come up with something really big.
