[QUOTE="PBR driver, post: 1501015, member: 20780"] You are correct, people using these lower power rounds are not shooting long range, shorter range helps ensure accurate killing shots. Like others have said there are a lot of Elk walking with a limp, I will agree but it has a lot to do with people shooting past their sure hit range. That is why fair chase dictates the animal must have an escape route, getting close helps reduce the animals wounded, we can not eleminate wounding as we are all human but we must do our best to. I personally do not hunt with a .243, .23-35, .30-30 or .32 WSPL but could employ them all to harvest any critter I am hunting, love stocking in close. I should hope most hunters use enough gun to cleanly take our animal, it is a choice of calibers we all must make. [/QUOTE]
