My reason is a simple one.There are enough idiots out there that cant hit & recover a deer they shoot at 50 yards let alone 300.
Or better yet.Goto your local Wal-mart around 9 pm the night before season opener.It's a joke.There are numerous guys buying slug guns,scopes,mounts,& slugs.You know that 99.9% of them are slapping that new scope on there new gun & heading out at day break.Never putting a single slug through it before.Now lets just give that same stupid SOB a centerfire rifle.
But then again if Indiana would require everyone to take a hunter safety class & a shooting skills test. MAYBE !
As the laws regarding rifles in Indiana, one can't use a long gun when hunting with cartridges like .308 or .270, for hunting Deer. However if one owns, a single shot pistol, like a Savage Striker or other brands of boltaction pistols, they are legal to use here in Indiana. You may use any rifle to hunt Squirrels, Woodchucks, or Coyotes.
