I had some great grilled pork chops last night. Anyway, the point is that somehow it's taboo to talk about the inconvenience to hunters that they may have to use a gun that uses less rounds. You know, and don't lie, that if there were only single round rifles available, that you'd still be out there hunting as much as ever, and, you'd probably become a better hunter because of the greater challenge.

BTW Elk liver is my favorite.
