I think you are wrong about this,Lowell. First, pride in the weapon you're hunting with is a lot of the joy of hunting. Otherwise, there would be no need whatever for this forum.

Second, why on earth would you even think about using the little rifles on your deer. Sure, they'll kill'em, but not well and not responsibly, and not with the honor the game deserves.

Oh well, your land and your choice I suppose...Geo
