Think about it folks...... do you want a tool to take deer with at a longer range? What makes the experience, dead deer or hunting?

Delaney and others have the correct view....... it aint about conservation or the deer ......it is about "me"!

When you say a dead deer is a dead deer and it doesn't care what it was killed by. Answer me this..... Where are you each year when IDNR issues out of season permits by the thousands and fawns die by starvation? Ahh again the deer doesn't care how it died and neither do we hunters.......
I think that most that feel that way is if they shoot a deer at 100 yrds with a muzzleloader, shotgun, or a rifle what is the difference?

The end result is the same... Now if you take it beyond 200 yards, then yes you have a valid point...

As to your last point... It doesn't make any sense so you might want to clarify that...
