[QUOTE="deerhunter61, post: 819862, member: 15528"] There have been quite a few responses questioning whether using a .243 was a good choice some even questioning it ethically. I do not question whether the rifle can do the job assuming everything goes well but what I do struggle with is having the ability to effectively track this animal if a shot with a .243 was high in the shoulder which most likely would mean there would not be much of a blood trail. First they have to hike almost 700 yards over a lot of elevation change just to get to where the animal was hit and then you have to hope you can track it....this is where my questions begin....
