More and more people are mislead to think it takes a minimum of at least a 300RUM to harvest an animal cleanly. This is stupidity in action...The same states that say you are forbiden to waste any edible portion of a game animal also say its OK and sometimes mandatory to use a rifle that is big enough to Blow both shoulders off a game animal, rendering half of the animal unfit for food??????? Does this sound sensible???

We are loosing/giving up our rights to hunt with the guns that have cleanly killed and in some cases almost extincted entire species of amimals.

State Governments that know Nothing about hunting and guns are making laws that make no sense..... FT LBS. of energy have very little to do with a guns killing power.

Buffalo were shot and KILLED for sport from the back of a horse with CAP&BALL colts. Custer was known to have accidentaly killed a few of the horses he was ridding doing just that.

Don't be fooled.....The old 45 cap&ball will kill game just fine....especially something as small and soft as a Whitetail.
