I fully support high-powered rifles for deer. Here's a little info about myself:

1. I'd rather hunt with a bow than a firearm. If Indiana outlawed all firearm hunting, my life would go on. But, I switch to a firearm during firearms season, since the deer are a lot more pressured.

2. I do not hunt food plots, nor crop fields.

3. I use two trail cameras in August and September to inventory deer, then pull them before season begins.

4. When this high-powered rifle issue passes, I'll be using a 300 AAC Blackout with subsonic ammunition and sound suppressor. This means that 100 yards would be the very maximum I would be able to shoot, since my muzzle velocity would be around 1000 FPS. So, range has nothing to do with my choice to hunt with a HPR.
