The reason that I wouldnt take my .223 out hunting with me where I would be leaving the house is because here on my property I have a shooting blind and a feeder set up about 25 yards away. I also have a range set up with targets at 25, 50 and 100 yards and I am very comforatable shooting here where I have a bench with a rest to shoot off from. Out in the woods I would have to be shooting off hand and I just wouldnt be confident enough to take that shot with a .223. Sorry if that is hard to understand, but I dont know how else to explain it. The main reason though is because I dont want to loose a deer and have a game warden showing up at my door wondering why I shot at a deer with an illegal caliber of rifle.....
Sorry, neighbor, still can't see the difference between your blind and feeder @ 25yds vs the same in a hunting lease 5 miles from your home, as an example.IF you areusing the same basic setup elsewhere, why would you be shooting offhanded? Not that I approve of such hunting "tactics" like sniping deer with smallish rounds, mind you..[:'(]
Anyway, you have a nice evening and a better one tomorrow.
