I hear alot of people talking about how they shot at deer over 200yards. Just the other day, at the range. I was sighitng in my slug and muzzleloader and this gentleman proceeded to tell me how they have night permits and they take deer 200 yards plus every year, WITH A SLUG GUN !!

That kind of touched me in the wrong way. I immediately envisioned injured deer, hillbilly type hunting. I know its not all like that with guns, but I also know that alot of NJ hunters are idiots. Heck, alot of hunters that I know of wont even take to the woods during gun season out of fear for their LIVES !!

But, thats getting away from the point. I think that long range capabilities will help keep the herd numbers in check, but also feel that more and more smaller bucks that should be left to grow will be taken just for something to shoot at.
