RE: is 223 safe for deer
Hey akbound,
I was once up near Atric Village (Alaska) looking through my binocks at the nativies shooting into a heard of caribou with 223's.. (mini 14's) They "machine guned" into the heard as long as they could see them, all while chaseing them with a forestry track vechile!!!!!! Then only to go pull out JUST THE DEAD OR DIEING ones!!!!! I saw several "humped up ones" that were obviously wounded go off out of sight, and i never saw them go after them either.
That evening they took the dead ones to there air port to be flown to Venintie and i had a chance to look them over better.
After liveing 25 years in Alaska and seeing sh** like that, i don't think much of "anything" the natives do out in the bush!!!!!
