Indiana deer rifle wildcats - the end of an era?

[Yeah]

Not that muzzle energy is the best measure to use when comparing cartridges

Energy is among the most meaningless of factors, along with projectile weight and diameter.

Good thing that I didn't get rid of my bolt-action .30-06 that I used to deer hunt in Texas. Gotta love the Republican administration getting things deregulated. Smells like freedom.

Hello from another native Texan who has chosen a Hoosier life. Never got rid of any of my 30-06s either. Figured one might come in handy some day hunting antelope or something on my brother's place, when I can get back out there.

New freedoms are awesome, but I am a bit concerned about how close people live to each other around here.
Hopefully, we will never hear of the errant rifle bullet going through someones house and any resulting consequence to what should be expected freedoms.
