I'm on the fence on this one. I like the idea of more options and since I just bought my first centerfire rifle it would be nice to be able to use it here at home on deer.

On the other hand, I don't need it to kill deer. Most of my deer are shot at 50 yards and under. I can't think of one that was over 70 yards. And I can only picture a couple places where I even have 200 yards to shoot.

I'd like to see some data on the safety issue before I guess on that.

I think it is premature to see this as affecting the length and timing of seasons. I'm not sure where that is coming from?
