Quote from: "Three Hawks"

I will bet a dollar against the hole in a donut that the buckshot regulation has the same reasoning behind it that the "Slug or buckshot only West of State Route 9" rule in Western Washington has, population density.  Simply too many people in too small an area to allow rifles for deer hunting.  And with the number of lackwits in our various State regulatory bodies it's a wonder that game laws make what little sense they do.

Three Hawks

My county in VA was always shotgun only until just a couple of years ago. There are many many more houses and people here now than there were anytime in the past. Go figure. :?

Longhunter gave good advice. Buckshot of any size is a sure fire recipe for a wounded and lost deer sooner or later and probably sooner. A good PRB on the other hand is like the Hammer of Thor! :-)
