I don't think state park or military hunts even allow PCRs now.
They do on the state park hunts. I have used one for the last 7 years.
By not allowing that stuff they might have figured it to reduce the chance of Bubba running FMJ.
I expect the regs to open up after the trial period, or sooner.
Not going to change a thing that I do...still going to use my Mossberg scoped 20 GA with the 24" rifled barrel + shooting sabot's...it's been an effective enough deer gun for 35 years now...why change? I may try handgun this year...why not change it up a bit?
Personally...if they never allowed a HP rifle to be use in deer hunting...I wouldn't be bothered a bit! IMHO...that would be a bad course of action anyhow! I'd be more concerned about 'stray bullets' than anything else! Not everyone can nor should be shooting a HP rifle out in the woods unsupervised anyhow!
Are stray bullets an issue in other states? Or are we just dumberer here in Indiana?
WOW! Source?Heck, in states that already allow rifles for deer, shotguns still account for around 3 times the number of accidental hunting deaths than rifles.
I don't think Ohio allowed rifles in 2007,and currently I believe only straight wall cases.Browse through some of the links here:
International Hunter Education Association - Incident Reports
Ohio had 13 slug gun accidents in one week in 2007!
