Varmint hunters use varmint bullets, are lesser in # than deer hunters and hunt wider areas.
The fact that I have to keep pointing this out to so many Fudds...............proves that they dont understand rifles or logic as much as they think they do.
And IMHO those are the types who pose the most danger risk when using "regular rifles".
My beef with HP rifle usage, is with how it will affect hunting.
We already have folks who think the limit for bonus means they should be able to take that limit, per county............yeah, deer are evenly distributed like that.
To a sportsman, the allowance of HP rifle will not change much.
IMHO the avg deer hunter is no sportsman.
Sure as hell is not a rifleman or really a gun person.
It'll just be bore sighting other stuff the night before the opener.
Big ground, private...............might not have any effect, the rule change.
HP rifle is legal, pre hunting season, on nuisance control. But then there's less people doing that.
That is not my point. If I were deer hunting on my property, the rifle that I would grab would be my 45-70 (currently illegal). If I owned one, I could use a 458 SOCOM, which is virtually a ballistic equivalent to a 45-70. It is silly that 2" on a 308 takes me from legal to illegal.
If you gathered that I am interested in taking deer at 1000 yards with a 300 Win Mag, you misunderstood me. I do, however, know a couple guys that have taken deer at 600+ with the .358, so that just further shows that this should be opened up.
I think he posts that in a different thread every day...
It's ok. Read the other thread about proposed changes and you will see that he is just being consistent.
I never indicated that he was.Just because someone is consistent, that doesn't necessarily make them right.
Expatriated- The case measurement they are proposing mirrors the current pistol regulations.
I guess there are some that are feel the blood will run in the streets, and some concerned it will severely decrease the herd. I don't see either. I don't see how Kentucky has any deer left with all the people using 7mm win mags.
And Kentucky just set a record harvest -
OUTDOORS: Kentucky has record deer harvest
While I am for using center fire rifles and even called my Senator to ask him to vote to pass the bill, the logic for being able to shoot coyotes with anything but not deer is not 100% logical as nobody is complaining about the restrictions we have on hunting turkeys, shot gun or bow only? Before everyone jumps on this, I am for using center fire rifles as I have plenty of them to use and do hunt back in PA as well.
