I'm agree, most are over gunned. I'm over gunned, I think, with a 308! But, it's what I have that is scoped. I've also taken several with a 38-55, and they were just as dead as with the 308, but noticeably less "bloody".
Bucks in my county must be at least 8 points, unless you're a kid during the youth season. It used to be only some counties had the restriction, maybe it's all now, but I know mine is.
