[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2821534, member: 75451"] I suspect that a poorly placed shot from one of the smaller cartridge/calibers will also produce a wounded animal! 🤔 It’s the hunter’s responsibility to place the shot…..no matter the cartridge! My wife has killed elk with a .243 Win. and several with a 270 Win. Yes, it can be and is done every year……but she will never advocate their use on elk! She’s merely a woman with near 50 years of hunting experience and has witnessed the benefits of using a somewhat larger bore, more powerful cartridge. Yes, it took her about a year to become comfortable and proficient with her hunting rifle, used now for all of her hunting the past 23 years. She is a strong proponent of using the best, practical tool for the job. You can dig a pond with a shovel from Ace Hardware…..but a “track-hoe” is a lot more practical! 😁 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
