I understand that, by law, you would be a poacher if you did not adhere to the 1,000 lb rule based on what you possted here
My question is, why was that set as the minimum?. Why was it not 1,500? What does 1000 do that say 500 will not.
If I take a 40 s&w with 165 grain JHP and press it against a deers vitals and pull the trigger i only have around 500 of ME. That's not enough?
Sorry if i sound a bit confused. I'm just not sure what formula was used to say that 1,000 is enough but 800 or 700 or 500 is not. OR that it shouldn't be 1,500
