I do, but then again I was raised with the school of one shot one kill. If you are talking about the current trend in not using enough gun for the critter you are hunting, and add sloppy shooting on it then yes I agree a bolt gun (or even belt fed) would be better.

The flip side is I own several single shot firearms and I can reload them faster than most can rechamber a bolt gun. But then I grew up single shot squirrel hunting.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
