you can shoot a big maine woods buck with a 22 mag if you want but i have trouble gettin them with a 30/30 with a double lung shot!!!

Though I would never do it, alot of deer have been killed with a 22mag!!!, I knew an old man "that is dead now" that is all he ever hunted with and killed a bunch with it!. I asked him , why dont you use a real rifle " when I was a kid", he replied, a 22mag is a real rifle! you just need to know where to aim!, he didnt even have a scope on it, just used the iron sights!. He was by far, one of the best shooters Ive ever seen!.

I deleted cause of wrong info! Paul is right!!

RE: Legal rifle calibers by state
 

Rebel, can you point me to or quote me where it states a minimum caliber in the handbook or regulations? Not arguing with you, I just can't seem to find it anywhere.

You're right....My bad......... .17cal and all .22's have to be Centerfire cartridges:)

RE: Legal rifle calibers by state
 

How long did it take you to find all that?

RE: Legal rifle calibers by state
 

I don't know exactly, but a lot longer than I had planned on;). It took me two days, but I was doing other stuff and worked 10 hours each day I think. To give you an indication I read every states hunting regs to find the info, and a few in Canada as well. Some were pretty easy and straight forward, others were a pain in the butt to find and were vague at best. That is why I said if someone knows I am wrong about a particular state I would love to know, but would also like to know where they found it so I know where to look.
