Dean you don't need to hunt dangerous game to use enough gun. I have taken Whitetails with my .416 Taylor. Big hole in big hole out and with very little meat damage. I've torn up a deer worse with a 270 than the Taylor.

I guess it all depends on bullet placement. A double-lung shot or a heart shot will do little damage to meat (although I do enjoy the heart) but the best for dropping your game in it's tracks is the spine shot - preferably high on the shoulder blade or close to the head. A well placed broadhead will do even less damage to the meat... eh, Larry?

I hate to chase a game animal mostly because my Indian tracking skills suck. My favorite shot placement in on the point of the shoulder, you lose some burger but the animal drops in it's tracks.

This year it will be the 375 & 300 H&H's that go to the deer blind....maybe a 7x57AI also....maybe.
