" 'cause the few who actually do it come back with a "see I did it with my trusty 45/70, and
didn't need one of those expensive traditional DG rifles, which we, THE ENLIGHTENED
know, aren't up to the supernatural 45/70 performance anyway"

Well said - it is a bit like the "one shot kill" practice - all well and good but PH's I've
spoken to say some people fire a shot at a Buff etc over here and then look to see
what happens !!! In the mean time the Buff disapears at a rate of knots into the
distance unless hit by the PH.

Doing things "outside recommended guidelines" is just stupidity.
Though as you say, making do with whatever you have due to a stuff
up is different from planning to do it from the start.
