I think that You can't hunt with rifle in Illinois either, or atleast alot of it. It was like that when we lived there, but I was ytoo young to hunt deer. A lot of people use shotgun with slugs, and my dad used bow and arrow.
I think it's two broad of a judgment to say that a 22-250, or .223 is an unethical cartridge to shoot "large deer." That's just too much of a generalization. It may be too much for some hunter, or some circumstances. But some people can take these guns and nail a prarie dog at 1000yrds, and if they can do that, I have no-doubt that they can blow the heart/lung area out the other side a deer inside of say, 200yrds. These guns carry a small bullet, that can easily be swayed by wind or brush, but they are Very Deadly, at very long ranges, and can be used ethically in many. Some people who would'nt think twice to throw lead at a prarie dog at 700 yrds, but would say it's unethical to do so to a deer. Makes me wonder...
