Wish I could hunt deer with a high-powered rifle.
Always one isnt there?
Out in Prarie country even a .300 win mag can feel like a BB gun. Deer and 'Lope only have to be shot at once before they figure out 1,000 yrds is a good starting point in distance.
Ive had hundreds of belly crawl stalks, trying to get to 350 yrds, defeated by critters with high powered eye sight. Out in the praire a HP scoped rifle isnt a luxury as much as its a necessity. Hunting heavy wood with BP is easy compared to stalking 'lope and Mulies in the sage.
