I think that the qualities of a true hunter are intrinsic rather than extrinsic. Its the stuff you can't see that is important. Empathy for the quarry - you won't have that if you don't have it...

Because a guide has sussed out the area over a period of time, knows the local deer habits.

The Grendel only needs 14.5" of barrel to get its maximum velocity from a 123gr bullet. Use BM 8208 and it can get you 2500fps no drama. I load mine to 2450fps and have shot it to 500m with great...
