Modern Rifle for Shooting Slugs

[Huntschool]

If memory serves me ...... it seems the decision on slugs in IL, OH, IN and certain locations and/or county's in other states was based on both terrain and population density along with the given range of those old slugs.

IL has allowed pistols with straight walled cases, IN has allowed pistols with an OAL cartridge requirement and now has gone to rifles with similar requirements. I am not sure about Ohio's laws. The IL law requires certain calibers with certain foot lbs.

Truly, based on today's shotgun/barrel/ammo combinations the accuracy and range of slugs has bee increased.

Just my thoughts.....

A little more time to get it done might be in order. If you only have a week there is vacation involved and who wants to waste that time?

Here in ND we get three weekends to firearms hunt. Well it starts on a Friday at 1200 and ends 16.5 days later.

Opens: Fri, 11/10/2017
Closes : Sun, 11/26/2017

The first week end it is crazy but that very first Monday there is almost no one out hunting. The second weekend is not too bad and the third is even better. Most only hunt on weekends. I will take a few days and hunt during the week. The deer are almost on vacation during the week.

I hunted in 'shotgun only' region for a long time.
Even with the allowance for straight walled centerfires, I'd opt to grab an inline muzzleloader. Every time, all the time...

I grew up deer hunting with a shotgun, cant say i enjoyed the intense recoil. That county is now a rifle zone which is what i use, that rifled 12 gauge can stay parked in the far back corner of the safe!! Get a 44 lever gun.... way cheaper to shoot and a more enjoyable experience.
