22 cal for deer

[jay.sharkbait]

Have some respect for the animal you are hunting, and use a caliber large enough that you are able to kill that animal ethically and humanely.

Maybe it would be better to not judge others based on your own skill sets?

Certainly some hunters are more skilled than others.

It just seems to me that there should be a reasonable minimum........ because not everyone can do what some of you can.

Personally, I like the 24 cal minimum, and I'd also go for an energy minimum (but that's just me).

You could still use your 300 rum if you wanted to I just have not seen any issues reported in the other 41 states about 22cal.

How would you propose that states capture the number of deer lost to certain calibers?

Why would the States need to?

I'm referring to his comment that other states haven't reported any issues with .22 caliber. How could they unless they've collected data?

[bobcat]

I'm pretty sure a 22-250 with the right bullet would be more effective than a 30/30.

I'll leave the popcorn popper on. I'm getting some sleep. Carry on.

You would think that those states would change and put the .22 caliber cartridges on a restricted list if there was an issue.

Maybe folks from those states are better shooters?

[JimmyHoffa]

why would .224 get to be the new minimum?  Why not .204 or .17?
As for 41 states argument....43 states have state income tax, 43 states don't have legal recreational weed.

Well...  knock down power.

(I just wanted to say "knock down power."  Please continue with your discussion  )

Why does the state allow archery gear and muzzleloaders?

So dem injuns and pilgrims have something to hunt with?

[chuckster]

Many states are any centafire, not just 224. Not sure what weed and tax has to do with a min, deer caliber.
