[QUOTE="BillLarson, post: 3037219, member: 1149"] When you choose a caliber plan on the biggest caliber you can shoot well...... how far you are going to want to kill at.... practice with it...... snap shooting,.....also RH...LH....from an elevation if you hunt that way..... As said previous..... you can hunt with a 22 rf.... if that`s all you got...... but you have to have .....and be able to complete a perfect shot... As said previous also too much penetration is better than not enough.... with expanding bullets..... I know a guide up in Gardner Mt.... that carried a 220 swift...... for years......head shots only shot alot of elk....bulls and cows.. never had a problem...... another Indian guide up in Canada didn't own a gun .....cause of drinking habits..... would borrow a friends 22 rf rifle and one cartridge every October...... shot a moose every year..... bulls and cows..... didn't matter.... he wanted the meat.... Thing is...if you want to take a particular trophy animal.... and it doesn't present a broadside shot.... it can turn into a very long disappointing tracking session for days........ OMHO..... let the flames rol..... [/QUOTE]
