You can use rifles on private ground with the correct paperwork, not on public property. Some farmers will let you wack them, some will trade for deer hunting but in my area of NJ, most ground worth deer hunting is leased and farmers realize they make more money from the leases than they loose to chucks. I'm down to only one farm for rifle shooting, every time I turn around there are new houses going up somewhere around here and it's just not safe to shoot.
Here is one that didn't get away..Remember that commercial about "this is your brain on drugs", well this is your brain on 55gr BT's...LOL
