Don't ever get into an argument with folks who say we have those "high powered guns". In point of actual fact, they are correct and arguing the point makes hunters look ridiculous in my opinion. There are far more dangerous activities a fellow can pursue than hunting, even hunting dangerous game. The point should not be that we hunt to confront danger or be heroes or legends in our own minds.

There may be a varying degree of danger in this or that hunting endeavor, but the confrontation of danger is really a small reality if you look at the number of total injuries and deaths suffered by hunters versus many "extreme sports". Rather, we hunt because we absolutely, without apology, enjoy being part of successful game management as the game harvester. We enjoy hunting; we enjoy the planning, the preparation and the efficient kill. We do in fact use "high powered guns" because the better the tool is, the more efficient the kill. We seek an efficient kill.

More to the point, WE are the most efficient "tool" the game manager has.

That some animals are more dangerous than others is obvious, and that certainly adds to the thrill, but the real probability that a fellow is going to get the axe by any critter is quite small.

Yes, you want danger for danger's sake? Get an assegai and go kill a lion with it.

Without a "high powered gun" for backup.
