The negative post to the use of the .22 cal centerfire have obviously never used one. on the other hand they probably think it is perfectly ok to hunt deer with a bow or .50 cal muzzle loader. A .22 center fire with open nosed or hollow point bullets is beyond the shadow of a doubt more adequate than any bow or muzzle loader as well as some widely accepted cartridges such as the 30-30.
Larry ,I think the common misconception here is the difference between a .22 centerfire and the .22 rimfire (long rifle). I believe the majority here are thinking of the rimfire , which is no doubt a very unethical (and illegal in my state) choice for deer.Oh and by the way , I'll get much better penetration from my bow than you'll get from any of your .22 centerfire rounds on
deer![8D]
Fanatic do you realize how foolish I could make you look by stating that you can get better penetration from your bow than I can get from any .22 centerfire round!
If you believe that,I have some prime ocean front property in WV that I will sell to you.
Larry, Remember: fences and pens = SLOBS!
