Every shot counted and I learned real quick that if I couldn't achieve a one shot kill (head), don't take the shot. So when it came time to get a more sporty rifle with a magazine, I bought a ten shot bolt action and learned to work the bolt quickly when needed for multiple animals. One day I took all five hares in a family bunch before the last made it to the safety of the scrub. So, as said above, if you're any good at shooting, you don't need a semi auto (shotguns for game birds excluded)
    Using your logic, you shouldn't have that single bolt action too. Why not just stick to black powder and ball ? After all, it was good enough in the day, and using cased ammo simply teaches bad habits of being able to shoot quickly. Not like in the old days when every shot counted because of the time it took to reload.

    Firearms evolve, one would hope hypocrisy would've evolved into nothingess too. Alas it hasn't.
