I knew what the current is and that's why I said if they made a .243 legal they might as well make it all centerfires. I grew up in IN before there was enough deer to even have seasons and the area below I-70 would be logical to allow them with the terrain down there as compared to the more open area up north where a bullet could go a long ways. We have some goofy laws up here in MI where you can't use much of anything but shotguns, MLs, and some of the stuff like IN has in their law down here in Zone 3, but it's only during the firearms deer seasons. Zones 2 & 3 to the north allow any firearm. If I want to take a 50 caliber centerfire out coyote or fox hunting down here in Zone 3, I can any time the rest of the year.
