There are many posts on many Forums advocating, what should be, marginal or less than marginal calibers and methods for taking Dangerous Game.

Most of these opinions state somewhere that the writer thinks that if he screws up the PH will be there to save him.

I think that you should always carry a rifle capable of taking any animal you could face, whether you are hunting it or not, cleanily and positively from any angle. I also believe that any rifle you would leave at home if you were hunting by yourself you should leave at home if you are hunting with a PH?

Do any others here think this way or am I being silly?
