What did the Colorado Division of Wildlife say when you asked? If you did not ask, the link to post your question directly to them is below.
I am asking in general to those on this forum that prescribe to the 1,000 lb rule. Why is 1,000 stated and then accepted as the rule of thumb? BTW I am not saying it is valid or invalid. I just don't understand it

BTW, the S&W shot you described is an illegal take of game and thus, poaching.
This was not a suggestion. I was making a point that the shot i described would, as most would agree. kill a deer. It only produces about 500 lbs in energy. So then why is 1000lbs the minimum
