Alberta to allow 22 centrefire for big game.

The swamp aspect might be a factor but a bigger one is they have no snow to paw through for supper. Horses that are fed hay all winter need their toe nails trimmed, range horses that paw all winter will have nice shaped hooves in the spring.

I'd consider using my 22-250 with appropriate bullets on pronghorn and mulies / whitetails.

I've never understood the attraction of shooting more with less when it comes to hunting...

Don't get me wrong, there are guys with relatively small calibers out there that are very effective. I'm not worried about those guys, but I do worry about rando people who will just get the smallest possible caliber "just cuz" and who have absolutely no idea what they're doing, punching tiny holes through game that will never be recovered.

Could say the same about the guys running around with the 338 RUM’s they bought 15 years ago and still carrying the original box of shells they picked up with it, cause biggerer is betterer….

if life made sense we'd all hunt with .308.

Both things can be true at once.

Too many idiots roam free and armed during hunting season.
