RE: Point of order?

First of all, a dozen deer legally is incorrect. You can take two bucks and ten does during bow, BP and firearms seasons, so you can legally kill 36 deer, not including sika deer on the Shore, or...

RE: 30-06 or 270wsm

I disagree. What's the biggest bullet you can load in the .270 WSM, 150 grains? Maybe 160? I'd rather shoot a bull elk or moose with a 180 or 200 grain bullet from an -06 than a 150 or 160 grainer...
