It very well may it depends on the interpritation some say it would take out everything down to about a .410 and if you shoot a semi-auto of just about any kind under the assault weapons ban our gov. wants they are all gone to. check out www.isra.org there is alot on info there.

So far i have seen birds moving but no strutting so for... the cold seems to have them a little jacked up too. They seem to have slowed since the cold. They were roaming before now more grouped then before the cold. Hope things go well with your hunt. I am heading to Pope County to hunt off the ohio river for 3rd season. I am trying to get one with my bow this year.

A guy wrote into the Chicago Tribune and wrote that he had researched and never found a single criminal incident in which a .50 cal was used.

Gun grabbers.

The .50 cal I guess was designed by civilians for competition use and then adopted by the military. Kinda like boots and clothes. Better outlaw boots and clothes.
