One of the guys I just went hunting with hocked his 300 Winchester Mag since he lives paycheck to nearly paycheck. His wife tipped me off because she knew what her .243 Browning A-Bolt was worth because he had told her what he could get for it. She wisely keeps her rifle at her fathers house.
He couldn't get the 300 out of hock so he used his .50 black powder rifle. Ran across a nice buck but missed the shot. Coulda had instant hamburger (deerburger?) considering the size of his prefered murder weapons.
I think Fred's right.
