No rifles bow muzzle loaders have a place but I still use shotguns for pretty much everything

Shotguns have their place, but it shouldn't be the only choice. OUt here, I don't think anyone uses a shotgun.

If you don't think a shotgun shows repect to deer. Just ask the 6 dead ones that were killed with my benelli sbe and 00 buckshot this season. Or the over 50 deer from the past 10 seasons. They will tell you all about respecting a shotgun. Just don't take a bad shot. Why argue on what you should be able to use? Use what they tell you to and enjoy it. I would use spitballs if that is all they would let me use.

i might be a little biased since my home state of illinois only allows shotguns. that having been said i certainly don't think only shotguns should be allowed. especialy in areas where it would be safe. quite honestly i don't think i would want to hunt in illinois if everyone was carrying a rifle! last but not least i don't think it is a coincidince that illinois has HUGE bucks and only allows shotgun hunting during a relatively short season.

I too am from Illinois and have used a shotgun for over 20 years. I also bow hunt and enjoy both. Deer hunting should not be limited to shotguns.
