gun question for mikec and others

"Never done it myself, but a lot of guys would gut shoot the deer so they would run in the woods and die. Not a good practice but they were that much of a pest. "

When I lived in Oregon several ranchers were arrested for gut shooting elk that were grazing in their alfalfa fields for the same reason.

Irresponsible weapons choice is the reason laws have been made in some locales to mandate what you can carry for deer.

55 or 60 grains isn't enough. And I say so.

If the rules were based on facts instead of uninformed opoinions the rules would be the same everywhere. Physics, biology, etc. do not vary from state to state or from county to county.

Absolutely right - informed politicians would ensure humane weapons were used everywhere. And only you one shot heart lung born killers would be allowed to hunt.

i was 11 when i started shootin blue rock with a 20 gauge. shot around with that for a while. here in nebraska the law is you cant shot a deer until your 12 so then i got a 7mm.08. its a kicker but i can handle it :lol: its not fit for a 7 year old. i would use a 223 or 410 for the little guy. but i love my 7mm .08. its a light kicker for the range it can shoot. shot a 6 pointer 300 yards away and didnt even know what hit him. it was grand. anybody else use one?
