?

I'm wondering because it seems many are stuck on a single gun for hunting, especially when hunting multiple species. It also seems there are a lot of "A bigger gun is always better" types.

I've had success with no failures over 45 years of hunting with just about everything from a .222 to a .300 win. mag.

I've found nothing bigger than a .270 is needed for just about any game in North America.

(I've never hunted Alaskan Browns so I will reserve judgement there and might take the magnum just to be on the safe side if I ever do!)

I shared a shorter version of one of mine on a different thread, and love to hear about others most interesting experiences, good or bad. Those stories are something I haven't seen here over the past few weeks and I was hoping someone might enjoy sharing a story or two!

(She weights about 75 pounds right now) and she wants to go elk hunting next fall. She got her first deer last fall, but her .223 is certainly too small and I'm worried her mom's .243 is still a bit light as well.
