RE: It's not how big it is, it's how you use it..
Idaho, In Alberta, the guides are not allowed to carry a weapon with the hunter, we have to rely on their abbilities, as scary as that can be. Nothing sickens me more than to see an animal wounded, or shot excessivly with bad shots. it is unfortunatly part of the job though tracking wounded animals. I have tracked more wounded bears than you have prob. seen..
You get to know pretty quick what a person does and doesn't know once you get alone with them in the bush.. After about the third time I have to tell them to not point the gun at me.. I am pretty sure they have no experience handling a gun.. lol
I have friends that can hit bulls eye after bulls eye on paper, but a live animal turns them into a trembling fool, why some people get like this I have no answer, and unfortunatly there is no knowing which guy is going to suffer from Buck Fever at go time.
