[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1601381, member: 69192"] I'm quite sure that anyone on this forum who are true hunters, there are not any hunters who, and....to add insult put the hunters name and hunting party at the end of the video. I took a bear one year that we refer to as "BOOBOO", we don't very often talk about it, and there are not photographs of it either. I guess you could say that I one of those guys rubbing their cranks over using the 6.5 Creedmore. It's not a hatred for the caliber that drives me crazy, it is how it is being flaunted and touted to hunt game, that is a difficult animal to take down. This video depicts exactly the stuff that drives me crazy (short ride;) for me) when I see a poor shooter/hunter trying to make shots that he never should have made to begin with. And.........this happens all of the time in hunting scenarios. Schtuff happens when hunting. I believe that if the first shot had been made with a larger caliber, heavy bullet the elk would have gone down. Then there were several other shots that were made available to the hunter that anyone on here would kill to have made available to them in the field, and the hunter either waited too long to make the shot or....he missed!! I'm watching the video and I saying [U][I]"take the shot, take the shot, take the shot[/I][/U]", and he doesn't take the shot! And after all of that shooting was done, the elk had to be dispersed with a handgun. I don't hate the 6.5 Creedmore, I just to not like the fact that it is overplayed and touted as the [I][U]catch all, do all cartridge[/U][/I] for taking any/all game that walks the face of the earth!!! Some of the applications that I've read about on this forum are totally unethical, irrational and lack common sense! When it was first developed Roy Weatherby shot and killed a record polar bear with the .257 Weatherby, does that mean it's a polar bear cartridge? I wouldn't recommend it for polar bear hunting and hunter survival rates, does that make me a .257 Weatherby hater!!????? I wouldn't use a ball peen hammer to split wood, does that make me a ball peen hammer hater!!?? And this is what many of us are trying to say on this forum about the 6.5 Creedmore!! [/QUOTE]
