[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1786602, member: 2460"] Relying on AK Native hunting prowess with mini cartridges for expert support is hilarious and at the same time troubling, most of them are about gun expert as a group of Minn trailer boys on a deer drive with shotguns where 40 guys open fire on a deer that got flushed out into the line of fire, most if not all of their hunts are "subsistence" or "community" where they pull up on a jetboat or snowmachine to 10 k head of caribou and pop them in the head at 50 feet or a group of them open fire on a running herd then collect the dead bottom line is, as a hunter your job is to kill the animal in the quickest most efficient manner, not talking about "ethics" but simple human common sense every individual possesses, many choose to ignore that voice of reason and make stubborn, ignorant choices Why would you even attempt to go moose hunting with a cartridge clearly incapable of anchoring a large animal off it's feet, do some of you relish the idea of a wounded, wild eyed and bleeding animal running for hundreds of yards while you attempt to put more bullets into it ? With the multitude of cartridge choices we have these days, why screw it up ? In my moose camp, mini cartridges are forbidden and 30 caliber is minimum, as in a 30-06 with 180 gr bullet but prefer hunters with 300 WSM or 300 Win Mag, various 338's even better, our job is to harvest game cleanly not to go into a chaotic, chasing and searching episode coming to hunt moose in Alaska ? leave the pea shooter at home but make sure to bring insulated waterproof boots and raingear [/QUOTE]
