RE: What is the lethal minimum ft/lbs for a humane kil
Check with your state hunting regulations. Many states have very minimums. For example, in the state of Colorado the following apply:
Rifle: "Must use expanding bullets that weigh at least 70 grains for deer, antelope and bear, 85 grains for elk and moose, and have an impact energy (at 100 yards) of 1,000 ft.pounds as rated by the manufacturer."
Handgun: ".24 caliber (6mm) or larger diameter expanding bullet required. Must product a minimum energy of 550 ft. pounds at 50 yards."
They have similar specifications for Crossbow, compound bow, muzzle loaders, etc.
