RE: Should deer hunting be only with shotguns?
Its shotgun slugs only here in Ohio.
I don’t really see it as a problem. The terrain, and foliage in the areas that I hunt rarely offers a shot of over 100 yards, and a 50 yard shot is about the norm.
Even a smooth bore slug gun offers sufficient accuracy at that range.
And let’s face it when you talk about knock down power. I don’t think you can beat a well placed slug. I took two deer this year that dropped on the spot.
If it where up to me though, I would require a rear sight. I’ve seen some well meaning guys out there who can’t hit the broad side of a barn, even with a rifled choke. And that is because they are trying to use that shot bead.
Hmm.. But…
There are some bean fields that I would hunt if I could use a rifle, and had the ability to really reach out and touch someone.
