Just for the record, you are obviously not a complete moron!

Adequate? I have some data that indicates that a deer can be killed with a .22 (actually I killed my first deer with a .22). So from that perspective,might oneconclude that a .22 is an adequate weapon for deer?I'm not sure about a lot of things. However, of the things that I am absoultely certain of, when in the process of harvesting gamethere is no such thing as too dead, but there is for damn sure such a thing as not dead enough!

Asfor Dr. Ashby's work it would appear to me that it is the most comprehensive in terms of methods of data collection, amount of data, data analysis, andscientific rigor, of any work of it's kind,mostprobablyin the world. Until I find something better I will use his work asa resource in determining for my set-up,not an adequate choice to do the job, but the best choice to do the job.
