So a low powered rifle then? I agree with long range shots being gay, but wtf is a high powerex rifle bad? A low powered rifle will wound and cause undue suffering and a high liklihood of losing the animal. Its unethical to use a weapob without sufficient power for a clean kill. I use a.444 marlin for black bear. Hits hard enough to knock them on their asses right there, puts them down fast. But i hunt for close range shots. Dont use a scope or binoculars. I call them in to spitting distance. But when i do pull the trigger, whether theyre 5 yards or 30 yards away, i use a gun with enough power to put them down clean.
