...Every animal and hunt is different...
Yep, had deer hit with my traditional muzzleloader go down on the spot and had deer hit with an '06 or 308 go a hundred yards, same shot placement on them, sometimes you just never know...
Eric.
Those were my thoughts. I've watched a lot of bloodied whitetails go many miles when shot with magnum caliber rifles on marginal--and sometimes even good hits. I think there is some merit here with recoil affecting the shooter etc but there's also something to be said about hunting elephant with a mouse gun.
Anyway, food for fodder and another outdoor writer's opinion.
