[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 703094, member: 10306"] "That's just my opinion of someone who has grown up here hunting from childhood in central Idaho and seeing a lot of people shoot a lot of game....and a majority of them were not magnums. Big game has not gotten any tougher since then. It's all a marketing ploy." It is deffinately true that marketers have jumped on the magnum band wagon, BUT magnums are better for long range. While the game hasnt gotten any tougher, people are shooting stuff that they simply couldnt even come close to 20 years ago. [B]LR [/B]elk = .308 call or bigger. I know lots of guys that hunt long range elk with .257's and such. I think they are holding to steadfast to what their Dads had taught them and need to learn to think outside the "Dad knows best" box. Not to disrespect anyone that shoots something smaller. [/QUOTE]
