Magnums Not Needed (Elk & Deer)

[sierra22]

Well, I certainly believe in the power of good marketing, and the US gunpress is undoubtedly the most influental.
Just look at European firearms manufacturers and see which calibers they supply.

Fast cartridges, big optics and long laser ranged distances seems to be very hot topics today. When did you last read anything about stalking?

This year I've made several long range shot on trouble deer (fraying damage) because of the foresters requests. Normally I feel elated and melancholy after a successful stalk, but this time it was satisfactory but too much of the melancholy. It was just a routine job.

"All to their own" as many have said, I just hope it doesn't develop into something where the novice feels he has no place unless he mounts his duper variable on his super magnum that needs a clearance from his laser rangefinder to fire.

I hope that no development in the market will ever cheat a hunter of that elation a stalk gives me, and I hope that the hunter that wants to use all this new equipment or shoot long range will thourougly enjoy his experience!
