Default RE: Smallest Caliber For Deer Hunting

ORIGINAL: .243Heartshot

None of you guys must of ever lived on a farm or went through rough times, all of y'all must think life is so easy. If it is the only thing you have use it. But if you can afford something else get the bigger rifle. But I was gonna ask you guys should I get a 10 gauge with buckshot for squirrel, the thing I was worried about is if it will have enough knockdown power, because I don't want to go hunting under gunned. Well maybe I'll go watch some pansy ass hunting shows and get myself a .50 bmg for deer. You guys can argue about .22 knockdown power all you want we have a permit to use rimfire. If ya'll did'nt read correctly we have to cull deer weekly or monthly year round. The deer eat our crops if we let them we'd be living in cardboard boxes and wiping our asses with leaves. I will continue to use any gun I want.
When I was a kid we would have loved to live ina cardboard box. 8 of us lived under an oldcarpet in a swamp downstream of the municipal dump. We used to fight to see who got to go collect broken glass for use in the rat traps. Mom could make the best rat sandwiches using whatever floated by. My younger brother had a shoe so he got to go to school. He brought me home my first rubber band and that's how I made my first slingshot. After that we could have pidgeons and such. Dad heard we were living so good he came back and wouldn't give up the carpet. We took turns with 3 of us sleeping underwater. A cardboard box would have been great that winter!
