Clark's views somewhat reflect my own, at least as to the non- use of more primitive weapons on antlered game.

My own idea of ideal but older weapons on antlered game are original 1886 Winchester
or pre-war Winchester Model 71 rifles. The iron sights affixed to these rifles encourage stalk or still hunting at closer ranges. Hence, much less incidents of wounded game. Calibers like the 33 WCF and 348 WCF have been successfully used on North American species of bear, indicating sufficient cartridge power for clean kills on antlered game.
