Re: Rifle Hunting
I didn't vote, because, I don't really care. I think that arguement, either way, is impossible to justify. Todays "slug guns" and "muzzleloaders" are basically big bore rifles. They shoot way beyond the average distance of most whitetail harvested here in PA. I know the maxium effective range of a .308 is greater than that of a 12 ga. sabot, but hunting in most suburban areas the difference is meaningless. A 10 acre woodlot surrounded by houses, is still a 10 acre woodlot surrounded by houses, no matter if you use a .22 or a 300 H&H. When the PAGC initiated those areas, they had in mind guys shooting "pumkin balls", buckshot and primative muzzleloading rifles.
P.S I'm an avid bowhunter...lol
