Challenge? Hunting skill? Limitations by law? Probably the same reason folks use a stick and string. How many bowhunter's stick deer and lose 'em........most aren't willing to say.
Effective kill range and shot placement is critical for whatever tool you choose to harvest game and nothing will replace this fact.
Most poachers hone their skill with a .22 mag and account for many more kills than most who legally hunt with "high powered" rifles. I see many posts on here by folks that "bloodied up a big one with the 300 win. mag."only to saw the horns off a rotting trophy 5 to 7 days after they find it picked by buzzards and yotes.
Why is it okay to kill a 350 lb hog with a .22 mag and then jump on the back of someone that wants to legally kill a deer with one?
