Small game/large game loads

[larryp]

Consider this: a modern gun hunter does not carry a 30-06 when bird hunting.

Well, now actually....Sometimes they do...But it is illegal.

Depends on where you are at.

When I hunt deer I load for deer. I pass all small game so as not to spook the deer.

This is good advice and something I always do. A companion pistol loaded with shot (smoothbore) or a pistol with ball (rifled) takes care of squirrels while a ball in the smoothie takes care of deer. :2

I just might start doing that. I have often spooked grouse and had them go up into the lower branches of a tree nearby while hunting for deer. My belt gun loaded with shot could easily take one. Same with the occasional rabbit I flush out.

A bow and arrow solves both problems..... :haha:

So does my silenced 22 semi but has nothing to do with this forum. So your point other being contraire????

That would work if I wanted to hunt both.

Confucius say " one who hunts deer and small game and shoots small game first sees tail of many fast deer" :rotf:

Well, I don't hunt small game while deer hunting; and still all I see is the tail end of fast deer. :v:
