Being a writer does not make one an expert on the topic.I reguard Petzals opinion the same as any other gunwriter which amounts to no more than any other hunter with some experience.

Nice job of matching your selection of tools to match the size and difficulty level of the job at hand.
There is for sure a difference between "poking an elk" and "smoking an elk."
** Some know the diference,
** Some know, but wish they didn't, as their bodies have failed them and they have had to downgrade their game.
** Others will never know (either one).

Ah . . . that age old discussion (argument?).
Do you suppose that 5 million years ago, two cavemen could be heard saying;
"No, NO, you've got to use the 10 footspear on the wooley mammoth!"
"Don't be crazy! You got to have at least a 15 foot pole for that big an animal!"
Bottom line . . . shoot as big a caliber as you can comfortably stand.
Fact: The bigger the gun, the less you have to track!
