Deer Hunting 2010

All of these fell to the 100 TTSX this year:
My 7 yr old got his first 2 deer, both whitetail does, at 65 and 90 yds with my Grendel.
With the Grendel, I took my first pronghorn
along with 2 whitetails and a coyote.
Here is one from last year taken with the 120 gr Nolser BT

It's a damned shame we can't use rifle for deer in Illinois.
I mean what is the difference, shotguns can reach 250yds easily now.
Those Hornady SST are accurate like large caliber rifle at 200yds, I have shot them and get 2" groups at 200yds.
My Benelli M1S90 Tactical with the rifled bbl on it shoots like a damned Beowulf, only the ammo is twice as expensive as a Beowulf.

What weird laws!!!
Washington has its weird ones too. You can legally buy and own suppressors, even attach them to weapons, you just can't FIRE the weapon with a suppressor attached. Makes sense, Huh?

See page 10
It is not only illegal to use rifle for deer, but it is also illegal to even possess a rifle in the field during deer season for any reason.

Classic case where 1 or 2 counties dictate what laws are for the rest of the state. A concealed weapon bill just passed out of committee to the house floor this week. I bet the bill has a chance of passing in the house, who knows about in the state senate but I wouldn't be surprised if our Governor wouldn't veto the bill. A lot of Illinois gun laws are because of Chicago/Cook County and the far Northeast of the state. In reference to allowing people to hunt deer with rifles in Illinois I guess there is a concern some idiot from Chicago might shoot some farmers cows from a greater range than they can with a muzzle loader or shotgun.

I would love to have one in .25 or the new .30 wildcat. Some say the 6.5 bullets are too long or I would choose 6.5.
Cheers,

I would choose the Beowulf if I had those limitations.
You know you won't have to shoot it twice.
In most of Indiana you would not need more than 300yds ever.
sure it would drop some but past 225yds you might have a problem with anything else.
I think Indiana might start revising that law if they see cartridges that exceed what they consider safe ranges.Last edited by Guest; 03-16-2011, 04:03 PM.
