I certainly agree that in my area, most dedicated bow hunters are excellent outdoorsmen.... as are many experienced muzzleloader hunters. I also do not believe that this is a question of courage nor would I impune anyone's courage for their weaponry decisions. We started out discussing whether or not a PH can save a life and it went to, in my mind, the question of putting the PH in unusually difficult circumstances. Really it is the PH's choice and he knows what risks he is prepared to take with what clients. I have gone on some dangerous game hunts with muzzleloaders because I write about muzzleloaders and in all cases I was invited by a company. The idea (whether we like to admit it or not) is that we are "proving" the capability of the muzzleloaders or the support equipment to sell product. You've all seen the ads... especially with the writer using Knight rifles and 240 grain Nosler bullets. Sorry, guys, but this is "stunt" hunting and something I had to come to terms with after the Indian River buffalo hunt. We were undergunned from the beginning and if things had gone badly someone could have been seriously hurt or killed. I won't do it again. It isn't that I am afraid. It remains a question of responsibility. Dangerous game is seriously enjoyable hunting and I intend to do more of it until I am unable. Your PH is your partner but....he doesn't really know what you will do...or can do for that matter. I've seen some "big name" hunters fold up pretty badly in situations that weren't even life threatening. I'm not attacking anyone's choice of weaponry but the PH's butt is more on the line with certain choices than others. They need the money just as much as anyone else.... but I choose not to put one in such a situation again.
