Danthehunter, you need to come down off your high horse. I am not advocating the shooting of whitetail with a .22 mag, just merely sharing a story, as we all do here, about unusual/strange/unsafe practices that hunters sometimes practice during the course of their lives. I feel we're all pretty much adults here and there shouldn't be any concern of someone ready this post and running out to try their hand at rimfire whitetail hunting.
