Default RE: Should deer hunting be only with shotguns?

I think it is pretty much unanamous! Spears should also be allowed!
Shotguns are very capable deer-getters. There is no reason that rifles, handguns and bows should be outlawed though!
I know some states are shotgun only, because of population density. While I know that rifle bullets will go much farther, a good shotgun slug will travel pretty far too. So, I'm not sure that these states are right in limiting weapons to shotgun only!
Teaching people to be responsible might be just as good or better. Always knowing what you are shooting at, and what is beyond the target too, is the first thing any new hunter should learn!

that would add a new dimension to the game. i am assuming you meen shotgun during modern only. otherwise its just ridiculas.
that would be the same as say, longbow for bow season only.

I think you should be able to use rifles in some states where there is no cover for you to get close enough to the animal. But i don't think a rifle gives a deer much of a chance compared to a shotgun. Im glad that iowa has a shotgun season instead of a rifle season. That is one way to grow big bucks. It gives them a lot better chance to get bigger.
