This is a spin off of the Best Whitetail deer cartridge 2023 thread. ( https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/best-whitetail-deer-cartridge-2023.916697/)
When you pick your hunting firearm/cartridge for a hunt do you actually look at your available firearms and pick out the firearm/cartridge that you believe is the absolute best choice available for the game you are hunting or do you pick your firearm based at least partially on other criteria than what is best/optimal? ie I want to hunt with a particular action type, or a really old cartridge, or a really new cartridge, or a gun with some sentimental value, despite it not being the best most-optimal possible choice from those available to you.
