[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 904050, member: 30671"] MudRunner and WildRose I agree with what you're saying about brush shots, picking holes, waiting, and walking away from low percentage shots. I packed a .375 H&H for a long time, not because it mowed down brush, but because it's the best off hand rifle I ever owned. What I could have said better is, if through the shoulders is what's exposed on whitetail I'll take it. The meat from there back is fine, and more than you might have waiting for behind the shoulder. Our seasons are short and before the rut kicks in good. Our deer aren't as plentiful as some places, a season of 1, 2 if your lucky at the draw, and tend to have been hunted hard on public ground. The shot you are willing to take is part of the parameters that need be included in bullet selection. [/QUOTE]
