The statement is silly because the reason given for not having to track the deer is the gun.

There are a ton of calibers that will drop a deer where it stands, doesn't have to be a 300 win mag. Shot placement and the round used is far more important than the gun you use.

Hunt long enough and you will have to track a deer someday, no matter how good a shot you are or what type of gun you use. It happens.

I'm not going to get into a debate about which caliber is best. There are a lot of good calibers for deer out there. I personally like the 300 win mag. I'm not knocking anyone for their caliber of choice and don't think I should be either. I'm just saying I prefer my 300. Shot placement wasn't an issue. They were both killing shots since they only went 100 yards. All I'm saying is that with my 300, I have never had one leave the sendero or had an Elk or Antelope take a step. I'm sure with correct shot placement that can be done with a lot of other calibers. Again not silly, it's just what I prefer.
