[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4545403, member: 1409"] I know many disagree with me, and the fad seems to be using "lighter" or smaller calibers, but each year I'm asked to help find deer that others make marginal and/or bad hits on with these smaller calibers, and they often run long distances after being hit. With a good hit, you can kill one with a .22 rimfire. It's just that we often are not the marksmen we aspire to be. I do most of my rifle deer hunting with a .300 Weatherby. Over kill, perhaps, but bad shoots still usually result in my recovering the deer near where he was hit. [/QUOTE]
