Ruger .44 carbine?
I didn't think 22lr was legal for deer. Here, you have to use at least a centerfire.2210/22 lmfao
I have an old .243 I love. One of my favorite cartridges.My drilling is surprisingly light, it uses Krupp "fluss stahl" barrels (drawn fluid steel) and is a 16ga with a 9.3X72R rifle. It's what's called a "guild gun" and was made in Austria. A friend of my Grandpa's named Walt Sauer brought it back from Germany at the end of WWII. My Grandpa also had a "vierling", which is a 4-barrelled shotgun. I don't know what happened to it, but it was highly engraved and gorgeous.
I have a small collection of "pre-Garcia" (pre-1972) SAKO rifles in .222Rem, .243Win, 25-06Rem, 7mm mag, and .30-06 calibers. They're all tack-drivers, but my favorites are my .222 (which was made in 1951 and is the first year for the .222Rem. caliber) and my .25-06View attachment 3843227
You the one on the right? Everglades bud? You around the Florida area? You look familiar.I've had a good year, 5 bucks and a doe this month alone
.22 LR is a favorite among spot lighters - shoot them in the head (no exit wound) and then poke a pencil eraser in the hole to stop any leakage & then run them through the ribcage with an arrow. Almost impossible to find if done right.I didn't think 22lr was legal for deer. Here, you have to use at least a centerfire.22

How do you get 5 bucks? That's more than the state allows.

I believe it might be legal to use a .22 LR for deer in some states (I'm too lazy to research), but excepting an expert shooter I don't believe it to be ethical to do so.
That said, here's a guy I got with my .270 a couple of days ago - by whitetail standards these guys don't look very impressive but for a Sitka Black tail he's a good representation of a mature buck.
Back strap & caramelized onions & mushrooms tonight for dinner.

I cant think of single state that allows deer hunting with rim fire. Some states wont even allow .222, .223, 5.56 for deer hunting. Some wont even allow my favorite cartridge, .243..22 LR is a favorite among spot lighters - shoot them in the head (no exit wound) and then poke a pencil eraser in the hole to stop any leakage & then run them through the ribcage with an arrow.

Mrs. GWN does not like to shoot, absolutely hates firearms but has no problem with me harvesting for us.I cant think of single state that allows deer hunting with rim fire. Some states wont even allow .222, .223, 5.56 for deer hunting. Some wont even allow my favorite cartridge, .243.

Unless you do like I do. I get a buck, the wife, the kids. Plenty of meat that way.

Dinner last night was the Bomb! Mustard greens, mashed taters w/ a nice scratch gravy, Backstrap medallions pan fried in a bit of bacon grease & caramelized onions and mushrooms.
One of my best friends got the invite - he's a Geo-bachelor & knows how to appreciate comfort food.
(Best friends are the only kind that get back strap dinners around here. )

Being legal and being ethical are 2 different things. Sometimes laws parallel what's ethical, but not always.Since when are we worried about the law on a forum where most people on here are breaking it anyways, I love how a guy doing the same thing I did with a different round talks ethics lmfao and also I'm not in Florida anymore but I still do what I want when I am. Screw The law and who disagrees. I love hunting and I eat everything I harvest. There is nothing wrong with using my .22 or my pistols or any legal sporting weapon either.
Happy hunting people, especially the law abiding people, it's your time of year lol
I'm not doing the same. It about more than just laws. Got to be a balance to hunting. I don't take kindly to spot hunters or poachers. If everyone goes out and kills a shit load of bucks then it will be a problem before long.Since when are we worried about the law on a forum where most people on here are breaking it anyways, I love how a guy doing the same thing I did with a different round talks ethics lmfao and also I'm not in Florida anymore but I still do what I want when I am.

The whole deer hunting with a .22 is bullshit to. Its is not a powerful round. It has left many a deer wounded just to walk off and die later from infection.
I could give a fuck less about you eating what you kill. It more than that. There is a reason for hunting seasons.
Go ahead and keep killing large number of bucks and hunting out of season when animals are carrying their little ones.
I want to see my kids have something to hunt. I wont because of assholes like you.
Its not the law part of it either. I hate police and law. Fish and game I have a little respect for because of what they do.
In the 30's and 40's there were virtually NO deer in states like Illinois & Missouri when my dad was a kid - anyone want to guess why?Its not the law part of it either. I hate police and law. Fish and game I have a little respect for because of what they do.
I suppose the guy doesn't buy a hunting license either. Those licenses pay to restock streams, rivers and lakes. It pay s to restore wildlife habitat and animal numbers.
Some will never understand this and just take, take, take.
