btw... i am not trying to get anyone in trouble but my brother in law who is also a school teacher who lives in milwaukee who owns land west of madison... he hunts every year on his property with a 22 lr... i have to admit... your wisconsin corn feed deer tastes a lot better than our high country deer because of the pine needle stench... our eastern plains deer aren't too bad tasting too...
@ zdn... lol! i realize that in most states the approved caliber is a .240 for big game... this doesn't excuse that i used a .22 caliber but we were on private land and the owner who was this old white dude who owned hundreds upon thousands of acres... who was also a good friend of my dad's encouraged me to shoot the deer... .22 caliber is not recommended and im not sure at which point we as a nation got so sensitive to ethical kills... which i support whole heartedly but i assure you all... a .22 caliber placed correctly will kill a deer...
LOL...you must've shot the deer right between the eyes, from 100 yards! most think a 22lr will only hurt big game (which is mostly the case, if shot from a distance). when butchering livestock such as pigs, cows, goat and other larger domestic animals, aside from bleeding the preferred round is a 22lr. i have friends who are avid squirrel and deer hunters...they claim to have taken down deers with a lesser grain, a .17hmr round.
22lr is fine. Question is can anyone hit the right spot for a quick kill. Answer is no, especially a moving target. 30yrds is rather close. Size calibre is a factor but the muzzle velocity is what counts as far as penetration goes.
That's why you do a headshot while the deer is standing still. Never done that before with a 22lr though. But have shot plenty of squirrels over 30 yds with one. So I don't think a headshot to a deer at 30 yds is that difficult.
If you are as rich as you claim to beWhy not just drop $300-400 on a rifle at BASS PRO SHOP or something These rifle are accurate straight out of the boxInstead you are shooting these cheapo low caliber squirrels rifles for deer which is illegal in my state BUT THAN AGAINTEACHER SALARY We all know yall make shyt wageNO NEED TO HIDE THE SECRET, WE ALREAD KNOW
