Re: Will the PH save your life?

In reply to:
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 completely agree.
In theory I have no trouble with the idea of a foolish person going out and getting himself squashed. But it is likely that he will wound an animal and one of the trackers or the PH will get squashed. Or the animal may get away and start squashing villagers. And besides, out of respect for the animal an adequate caliber should be used. So overall I think Mickey's statement is the best one.
