I realize that it might not sound that way, but im not just a kid eager to kill something and see it suffer. I've always hunted humaneously, and when i've hunted with a shotgun, i've always been quick with a second shot in case its still alive. So im not a sadistic killer if thats what you think! Most animals ive hunted was dead on the first shot, with all the meat intact. And I intend to let it stay that way! Ive seen a hare hunted with an 30-06 hollow point. And it isnt a good sight.

For those who wonder, I'm at the moment situated in Norway, but I'll be staying in Missouri next year. In Norway the law says that you can't hunt animals larger or equal to hare with a .22lr.

You can't hunt red deers with slugs either, im afraid. It turns out that you can't hunt anything larger than roe deer with slugs, unfortunately.

I realize that I need several rifles and shotguns, and there isn't a definite answer for me. The first thing i'll buy buy is a .223 or .22lr for target shooting and maybe some small game hunting (not for small birds). Then I'd probably buy a .270 or a 30-06 for deers and elk .

And please don't accuse me for not paying enaugh attention to ethics and the wealth of animals. And regarding being a kid, you may think that I have a somewhat childish language, and the reason for this is that im not a native english speaker.
