Not gonna work... Big Game Hunters ain't got the balls for it. Most big game hunters like the illusion of danger but not the reality. To use a dart gun requires that you get very close. Under 60 yards. Screw it up and the distinction between the hunter and the hunted gets reversed.

Try hunting an elephant with a pistol. No balls ? You pait with too broad a brush there slick.

I'm a bow and black powder hunter. Technology has made hunting meaningless. Today, the hunting skills of our ancestors have been lost to technology. If you want to see what hunting has become in America it is some moron wandering arround with a .44 magnum pistol.

The average hunter in America can't read sign, can't stalk, doesn't have the necessary patience in a stand or blind so he makes up for it with mud buggies, beer, and a 30.06.

Yep, your right.
Then there's hunting Mountain Lion with a pistol - I know a guy in AZ that does it. You have to get pretty close. I Think he uses a S&W .44 Magnum (could be a .357), it definitely takes 'nads'.
