There are no circumstances however where anyone is guaranteed perfect results when you sight on a live target. For that reason, the experienced hunter always works his rifle's action at the shoulder, as quickly as possible, incase a follow-up is needed. The less experienced will often take the rifle from his shoulder so as to admire the effect of his shot, or to work the action at waist level and his face often takes on a dismayed expression when his bear (deer, caribou, moose, elephant) of a lifetime disappears into the thicket as if untouched.
As for you wishing I was hunting for meat, well you can keep wishing, because trophy hunting is legitimate, legal, and more challenging. The reason trophy hunting is more challenging is because you don't shoot the first animal you see, you a searching for a specific animal. This increases the chances of being skunked significantly.[/QUOTE]
RPGs here we go! I sure hope this guy got his trophy!

Actually, my comment about hunting for meat was directed at recoveringunut's concern over exit wounds, and x-fan touting big bore gut shots as an advantage.
Absolutely nothing wrong with hunting trophy game at any range with any capable caliber. If on the other hand, you're inclined to shoot game, take the antlers, and leave the meat for the ravens, I'd rather not hear about it thanks very much.
