?What Do You Think Of 'Good Will Hunting'?
Decent movie that got a bit overhyped.
Although, it seemed to almost kill the career of one of my favorite directors. Gus Van Sant decided to follow up Good Will Hunting by making Finding Forrester and then doing the shot for shot remake of Psycho....... oof.
But then he made Gerry - and all was forgiven on my end.What Do You Think Of 'Good Will Hunting'?
Great movie. I found it very moving and LOVED the performances delivered by Matt Damon and Robin Williams.
It's a classic good movie: talented actors playing interesting characters saying intelligent dialogue in poignant situations.
Gus Van Sant is quite a versatile director, isn't he?
One of my favorite Matt Damon movies. The chemistry between him and Robin Williams was great. I love the scene when the two of them they start talking about Carlton Fisk's walk-off home run and how Robin's character missed it, to talk to his future wife.
Great movie, not going to be knocking Taxi Driver off of its' pedestal anytime soon but definitely worth watching. Downfall, would be that I find the ending unfulfilling, you know great he's going to get the girl, but what is he going to do with his mind.
Brilliant movie. Amazing actors, and writers. One of my all time favorite films. I love that movie. Very powerful and just amazing. I can't describe it. It's just epic in every sense of the word.
I love this movie. Great performances by Damon and Williams, and, aside from the Kevin Smith movies, Ben Afflecks best. Plus, like others I'm sure, it was my introduction to Elliot Smith.
good movie.
but my favorite thing about it is that it turned me on to elliott smith.
good choice in music for that film.
It's brilliant, one of my all-time favorites...
Great Movie. I loved the writing. I thought the dialog was fantastic. I watched it again last night
It's a good movie

Do Dragunov SVD Rifles Make Good Deer Hunting Rifles?
I was thinking of getting a Dragunov SVD rifle for deer hunting, but i dont know if its a good caliber, if its accurate, if its safe, if its light enough, etc.
i live in Wisconsin and its legal to have a semi-auto for huntingDo Dragunov SVD Rifles Make Good Deer Hunting Rifles?
Heres a more direct answer: Yes.
The SVD comes in 7.62x51 and 7.62x54, but I know more about the x51 verison. Its accurate and safe, but it is not light. I've heald bigger guns before though, like barrets, m60's (semi auto, sadly) and other, large calier rifles and MGs.Do Dragunov SVD Rifles Make Good Deer Hunting Rifles?
The Dragunov and its clones are fairly massive guns. They are large, and they are heavy. Two things that most hunters prefer not to endure.
If you are in love with the 7.62 x 54R cartridge, you can get a lovely Moisin-Nagant bolt action rifle for about $100 in fantastic shape.
That cartridge, which was designed for Russian snipers, does not come in a wide variety of bullets. All of the affordable ammo is pointy full metal jacket, not usually considered ideal for a soft-bodied target like a deer. You can poke a .30 caliber hole straight thru 'em, and they'll run a couple of hundred yards before expiring.
If it's the idea of a semi-auto you find appealing, there are plenty of offerings that are made to be hunting rifles. Browning has the Browning Automatic Rifle, chambered in just about any hunting caliber you can name. I'm partial to the .30-06 myself... there are so many different bullet and load choices available commercially that you can kill just about anything in North America with one.
It's an adequate caliber, better than 30-30, though not quite up to 308 ballistics (some claim it's better, but they haven't chronographed it).
If you're only sitting in a stand all day, it should be OK. Like all semi-autos, it's a bit clunky and just plain unweildy for use still-hunting, but that may not apply to the kind of hunting you do.
well ya i live in iowa and the only rifle i can use is my muzzlelaoder but i do have a dragunov and i shoo target with it i would definitely reccomed it
House Hunting?
We've found a house and want to put in an offer, but what do we do next?
All help very much appreciated, ThanksHouse Hunting?
In the UK, contact the agent and put the offer in, they will contact the seller and if excepted or not they will come back to you.
Sort out your funding IE mortgage with your lender, bank or if paying cash no problem.
If the offer is accepted, sort out a solicitor the lender might be able to help.
Once you have signed things will be in the legal hand, waiting for the money to be moved around , deed and land searches by the solicitor, etc, they will give you more info near the time all take above 4 to 12 weeks, depending on how much work involved.
When moving in, sort out the the water company, electric company, gas company, etc. Keep letters and records of everything altogether so you can put your hands on them all in one go. Good Luck,House Hunting?
Decide your best price (keeping in mind you may have to offer a little more), then ring up the estate agent and put in a formal offer. The estate agent will pass the details to the seller, who will say yes or no. If the answer is no, and you are very keen, add a couple of thousand extra - or as much as you can afford. If the answer is still no, then you will have to bail out.(Unless someone can lend you extra)
Put in your offer on how much you think the house is worth. If you think you are getting a bargain, put in the asking price. If there is some work that needs doing, put in a lower offer. If the offer is accepted, tell the estate agent you want the house taken off the market and he is not to show anyone else around it, that will stop gazumping.
Find out how many people are in the chain. Can they move quickly. Will they move to rented accommodation if your end has gone through but they still haven't found anything.
Write down a list of all the questions you want to know, keep adding to it as you go. Phone the estate agent every day to see how the sale is progressing.
Then there's all the paper work to fill in, get surveys done, solicitors etc.
You could move in as little as 6 weeks but be prepared to wait 6 months, I did.
Good luck.
I would speak with a real estate agent. They will provide the paperwork necessary to put an offer in. Having an agent is not going to cost you any money when purchasing a house, only the home buyer which generally the two agents split..
I just got my first house this year, and there was probably a good 20 page document that you put together to put a formal offer on the house. You go into detail just incase there are multiple bids on the house and a bidding war begins.
Good Luck!
I'm sorry but I don't endorse house hunting because it's cruel.
Catch and release maybe...
why not phone the vendor and ask them what sort of an offer they would be happy with.
Or go to a local estate agent and discuss the matter with them. Whatever you do, DON'T borrow too much money, I beg of you. There's more to life than paying a big mortgage.
Make sure you have a good lawyer first! Then just tell your real estate agent you want to submit an offer, you have to give a token amount of money that will be deducted off the price (like $200 or so) and make sure you list any conditions with your offer...like that the curtains stay or a leaky faucet has to be fixed before you buy...things like that.
put in the offer, doh!eye makeup

When hunting with shotguns are choke tubes necessary?
NO --- BUT - I don't recommend using your shotgun without one.....
If you want to have a straight cylinder bore shotgun all you have to do is replace your current choke with an IC (Improved Cylinder) choke....
Necessary?..... Realize when hunting if you use the correct choke your shotgun will be a more effective hunting firearm.....
Look here at this site for a few well written short articles on shotgun chokes and how to use them properly.....
http://www.chuckhawks.com/index2c.shotgu鈥?/a>When hunting with shotguns are choke tubes necessary?
Do not fire your shotgun without a choke tube in place. It will damage the threads and most likely the barrel in short order. As stated by the answerer above, which choke you choose depends on the type of hunting you plan to do. Improved cylinder is usually the most open choke that comes in a basic set. It is used for close in, 25 yards and under, and when shooting slugs. Modified is a bit tighter for 25 to 35 yards and full is for longer ranges or for times when you want a tight pattern in close such as turkey hunting.When hunting with shotguns are choke tubes necessary?
No, I have 3 shotguns and NONE of them have a choke tube. The downside is I have to use a different gun when I hunt different things.
If your gun came with tubes, be sure one is screwed in the barrel before use. Different chokes for different folks. All you have to do is decide what you are going to hunt and screw in the appropriate tube.
If your gun barrel was made to use tubes shooting with out a tube in it can cause damage to the threads where the tube screws in and make it pretty much useless.
Some barrels are made with a fixed choke and can not be changed, they don't take tubes.
Dave
YES. You need one installed whenever you shoot it or you will destroy the barrel/threads.
can you yes should you no

Deer not coming out when i am hunting?
Look i have a 140 acres and every time i go hunting i see nothing they got to be coming out at night they ate 50 pounds of corn in a day and there are rubs and scrapes everywhereDeer not coming out when i am hunting?
You just answered your own question. Deer are mostly nocturnal animals. Evolution has made it this way...as they encounter fewer predators at night. The number one predator of deer has always been humans. And, it was not until the invention of the electric light bulb that deer would need to fear humans at night. For hundreds of thousands of years, deer would feed at night while the cavemen and women would retreat to their caves for safety.Deer not coming out when i am hunting?
If they are coming to yo9ur spot then the question is when are they coming. You can put out a game camera and you will find out really quick. That would be my suggestion. Be interesting to know what the buck looks like that is working those scrapes too. Also, 140 acres is not a lot. If there is lots of hunting pressure surrounding the area the deer are probably moving at night.
Well, you have to be quiet, and you need to try to go to your hunting spot before dawn, 1, so they can't see you as well, 2, so you can sneak into your spot when they're asleep! Also, try not to have a strong scent. When you're hunting, you MUST have a scent blocker of some kind. Or they'll smell you and leave that area immediately.
sounds to me like you are not playing your wind right do the work find out where the deer are coming from and going to intersect them in between set more than one stand (playing your wind) get there early stay late people think that hunting is putting up a stand and hunting there is much more to it than that its alot of work most sportsmen enjoy it tho
Perhaps you should read up on the habits of deer before you try to hunt them.
Deer bed down and take a nap during most of the day.
It is possible to walk right by one hiding in the grass and not see it if you aren't looking closely. (I have ';jumped'; deer out of their beds at less than 10 feet on several occasions!)
go out to your post before daylight and stand on your post. Don,t be tempted to shoot before it's legal. out early see deer [buck rubbed in the gloom 25 ft. away] this happened to me and no more that morning. keep trying and good luck. Jesse
Stop sharting so much.. lol
- You are prolly upwind, he can smell you.
- early morning and right before dark are best times
- Apples work wonders for noobs
- Have you found the trails, eating and drinking spots?
- Get off the ground
Etc.
If it's open acreage then they are hiding out during the day. You have to get there extra early before sunrise and hide out. Plus you have to not stink, they can smell you.
50lb of corn a day! You either have alot of deer or one big fat one. Just keep feedin em like that and maybe one'll just keel over from obesity.
1 be quite 2 go out before daylight 3 use cover scent 4 be hiden 5 deer on the ground
i have learned to set and wait very quiet don't move much they have great eye sight
The thing about deer is.... you gotta be quiet! lols.
its hunting ya wait and wait like fishing only you gotta be quiter

I got a drunk driving about 5 years ago will Canada let me in to go whitetail hunting?
You have to show rehabilitation; this typically means no DWI/DUI charges (note that it is ';charges';, not simply ';convictions';!) for at least 10 years. The time scale starts rolling after you've completed whatever sentence was received for the incident.
If you've had more than two (total) charges ... and no, they don't get expunged from your record ... you are deemed ';incorrigible'; and are therefore permanently banned.I got a drunk driving about 5 years ago will Canada let me in to go whitetail hunting?
Sure hope not. Last thing we need is another drunk with a gun.I got a drunk driving about 5 years ago will Canada let me in to go whitetail hunting?
You will be inadmissible for entry to Canada for any DUI offence in any country unless you are deemed to have been rehabilitated. DUI is a very big deal in Canada.

Whats the name of the movie about Africa and hunting for elephant tusks and what not?
From what I remember the movie is about two teenage kids,a boy and a girl, whose families were killed in Africa and they both ran away from the hunters who also go around hunting elephants illegally for ivory.Whats the name of the movie about Africa and hunting for elephant tusks and what not?
You're talking about ';A Far Off Place'; staring a young Reese Witherspoon. I can't say how many times I've seen that movie. It was one of my sister's favorites when we were kids.

thanks!Please rank these hunting guns by lethality/power?
In close range
1). 10 gauge
2).12 gauge
3). 357 magnum is a very lethal weapon, but a shotgun is better for close range
4) .22 can be used for a far range and it is lethal considering the size of the bullet. I have a .22 that I have killed a deer with it's accurate up to about 50 yards.
mid-long range
1). .308
2). 30x6
3). 7mm and the 30-30 are debatable, but I would say the 7mm.Please rank these hunting guns by lethality/power?
It's quite pointless and impossible to make comparisons among handgun, rifle, and shotgun chamberings absent the intended application. A very powerful shotgun at close range is useless at ranges that are quite modest rifle-shooting distances, for instance. Also, 22 LR is considerably more powerful in a rifle than in a handgun, as is 357 Magnum in a carbine compared to a revolver.
A 10 gauge shotgun with 3'; chamber shoots about the same amount of shot as a 12 gauge with a 3 1/2'; chamber, at about the same velocity. So you have to look more closely at chambering than just the bore size.
Among your rifle calibers, 30-06 is slightly more powerful than 308 Winchester, which is in turn more powerful than 30-30. There are quite a few 7mm rifle cartridges, and the bore size is .284';, so the bullets are of smaller diameter than the 30 caliber rifles. But bullet weight also comes into play, and some of the cartridges are of considerably more power than others. 30-06 was designed to be more powerful than the 7mm Mauser, for instance, but 7mm Remington Magnum shooting a 160 grain bullet at 3000 fps may outperform 30-06 with a 165 grain bullet at 2800 fps; at least they're very close. Here the specific choice of bullet may make the difference, as does the task you're trying to accomplish.
I'm going to assume that 30 x 6 means 30-06. Also, those are different chamberings, not specific firearms. There's also shotguns mixed with rifles in the list. That's like comparing apples and oranges.
Comparing ';lethaility'; is nonsensical. Dead is dead, it doesn't come in differing degrees. It doesn't matter if death is the result of a .22 or a .30-06, the results are equally lethal.
Some rounds have higher velocities, they use differing bullet weights, and they are all useful in certain circumstances.
The firearm should match the job. For rabbit hunting I'll go with a .22. For deer, the .30-06 would dod just fine.
DUH..
Those are not guns, those are cartridges.
30x6...I suppose you mean 30-06? In a rifle that is the top of the list.
Shot guns have no where near the power of a bullet so they would be near the bottom of the list. Unless you are talking about up close and using slugs.
Also it makes a big difference in barrel length. 357 mag in a pistol or a rifle?
Your list is lame. Just go to a website that has ballistic charts and look to see which has the highest muzzle energy and that will allow you to arrange your own list.
The lethality.. as you put it.. is there for each of the gun sizes you picked. Lethal,, as in they will all kill. It isn't fair to compare rifles to handguns or to shotguns.. or vice versa. Each is designed for a certain purpose. Shotguns loaded with field loads are lethal out 20 yards or so and more for birds. As for when loaded with buckshot however, is totally devastating at close range and the killing range will increase out to 100 yards or so.
Shotguns...
10 ga.
12 ga.
Pistols.
357 mag.
22.
Rifles..
Each one you picked are all capable of delivering power and accuracy at long ranges depending on the type rifle and ammunition.
The .308 probably the most accurate of the 3. But not more powerful. The 7mm delivers more ft. lbs. of energy than both the 308 or the 30-06. All of these rifles have a long range of kill.
first being the lowest in power and kill ability

that is just a generic order too,depends on what gun your using,what barrel,what your using it for ect.
guns are judged better by what you want to use them for.. a 30/06 and 22 are both good for what they are made for..squirl? 22 is better...deer..30/06 better..and what gun? revolver? a 357..not a 10 G

3). 7mm and the 30-30 are debatable, but I would say the 7mm.Please rank these hunting guns by lethality/power?
It's quite pointless and impossible to make comparisons among handgun, rifle, and shotgun chamberings absent the intended application. A very powerful shotgun at close range is useless at ranges that are quite modest rifle-shooting distances, for instance. Also, 22 LR is considerably more powerful in a rifle than in a handgun, as is 357 Magnum in a carbine compared to a revolver.
A 10 gauge shotgun with 3'; chamber shoots about the same amount of shot as a 12 gauge with a 3 1/2'; chamber, at about the same velocity. So you have to look more closely at chambering than just the bore size.
Among your rifle calibers, 30-06 is slightly more powerful than 308 Winchester, which is in turn more powerful than 30-30. There are quite a few 7mm rifle cartridges, and the bore size is .284';, so the bullets are of smaller diameter than the 30 caliber rifles. But bullet weight also comes into play, and some of the cartridges are of considerably more power than others. 30-06 was designed to be more powerful than the 7mm Mauser, for instance, but 7mm Remington Magnum shooting a 160 grain bullet at 3000 fps may outperform 30-06 with a 165 grain bullet at 2800 fps; at least they're very close. Here the specific choice of bullet may make the difference, as does the task you're trying to accomplish.
I'm going to assume that 30 x 6 means 30-06. Also, those are different chamberings, not specific firearms. There's also shotguns mixed with rifles in the list. That's like comparing apples and oranges.
Comparing ';lethaility'; is nonsensical. Dead is dead, it doesn't come in differing degrees. It doesn't matter if death is the result of a .22 or a .30-06, the results are equally lethal.
Some rounds have higher velocities, they use differing bullet weights, and they are all useful in certain circumstances.
The firearm should match the job. For rabbit hunting I'll go with a .22. For deer, the .30-06 would dod just fine.
DUH..
Those are not guns, those are cartridges.
30x6...I suppose you mean 30-06? In a rifle that is the top of the list.
Shot guns have no where near the power of a bullet so they would be near the bottom of the list. Unless you are talking about up close and using slugs.
Also it makes a big difference in barrel length. 357 mag in a pistol or a rifle?
Your list is lame. Just go to a website that has ballistic charts and look to see which has the highest muzzle energy and that will allow you to arrange your own list.
The lethality.. as you put it.. is there for each of the gun sizes you picked. Lethal,, as in they will all kill. It isn't fair to compare rifles to handguns or to shotguns.. or vice versa. Each is designed for a certain purpose. Shotguns loaded with field loads are lethal out 20 yards or so and more for birds. As for when loaded with buckshot however, is totally devastating at close range and the killing range will increase out to 100 yards or so.
Shotguns...
10 ga.
12 ga.
Pistols.
357 mag.
22.
Rifles..
Each one you picked are all capable of delivering power and accuracy at long ranges depending on the type rifle and ammunition.
The .308 probably the most accurate of the 3. But not more powerful. The 7mm delivers more ft. lbs. of energy than both the 308 or the 30-06. All of these rifles have a long range of kill.
first being the lowest in power and kill ability
.22
7mm(hangun round)
.357 mag
7mm(rifle round)
.308
30-30
30-06
12ga
10ga
that is just a generic order too,depends on what gun your using,what barrel,what your using it for ect.
guns are judged better by what you want to use them for.. a 30/06 and 22 are both good for what they are made for..squirl? 22 is better...deer..30/06 better..and what gun? revolver? a 357..not a 10 G
Assuming you are talking about slugs in the shotguns and with a target less than 100 yds.
10 ga
12 ga
.30-06
.308
7 mm
.30-30
.357 Mag

It depends what type of hunting you are doing. For squirrels or other small game larger patches of woods produce great places to hunt. Find the animals food source and their nest, and you should be successful, especially at dawn and dusk. Hunting deer and turkey is usually best on edges of fields, but you still want to hunt where they feed or bed down at at dawn and dusk.

were the game is .there are better then average places but a good hunter well bag his game in any are that game is present
Illinois has some nice whitetails.

Is it common hunting practice to take down a boar with only a spear? And without using dogs to tire it.?
Tired of hunting boar with my recurve, I'm looking into hunting one down just with a set of throwing boar spears.Is it common hunting practice to take down a boar with only a spear? And without using dogs to tire it.?
after you have become so profitiant with the spear that you can hit a 6 inch circle with minimum penatration at 25 yards yes you can. I seen it done in texas on the king ranch at four arrows. the guide carries a rifle in case you screw up but you will still be charged trophy fees etc if they have to kill it for you. he was in your same boat he used recurves he made himself he was very wealthy and had lots of time on his hands. he practiced 4 hours a day and he would let you mark an X on his target he could actually touch somewhere on the X with a part of the spear 4 out of 5 times. I asked if he would step back to 30 yards and he said that would be unethical for the boar. I got his point.Is it common hunting practice to take down a boar with only a spear? And without using dogs to tire it.?
I have seen the crazy unethical hunter on the Versus channel kill a boar with a knife. As hunters, we have the responsibility to hunt and kill humanely. This means using the proper broadhead or caliber when hunting.
This is an inhumane and even dangerous way to hunt. It might not even be legal in your state. Don't risk your life and give us all bad names. Use the proper gun or bow and obey your local and state hunting laws.
Well the English use to do what the Called Pig Sticking, what they would do is run it down with a horse and use the spear to stab it while still on the horse.
There is yet another technique employed some where around Spain where the wild boar are put to bay by dogs and when the hunter get there he pulls his knife and jumps on the wild boar and try鈥檚 to stab it to death, before it gets him.
But I鈥檓 too old and smart for either of these sports.
I鈥檒l stick with my pistol, rifle, muzzleloader or bow.
That my opinion.
D58
While I'm sure our ancestors fed themselves in this way, with the availablity of more humane methods of the kill this is somewhat barbaric.
Ok Tarzan,
I have hunted dangerous game in Africa, Mexico and Canada. I am a human being and as such I use tools that better my chances of not being mauled or killed. I understand your need to feel MACHO, but hunting a boar that can easily turn around and run by you leaving a 5 inch or bigger gash that'll surely get infected is not my idea of fun. Still, some hunters do it. If you really want to, I'll provide the ranch. You would first have to waive your rights to sue me if you loose your leg or worse while taking this challenge on.

If your going hunting and your not 21 but your with your uncle is it ok?
In my state it's OK, but if you are 12 or over you need a license of your own. Check with your local hunter safety people.If your going hunting and your not 21 but your with your uncle is it ok?
It's ok as long as you don't get the gun in your hands!
Hey, are you from Cyprus? : ) Hunting season has just started there today.If your going hunting and your not 21 but your with your uncle is it ok?
It depends on your local laws and what you mean by ';not 21';.
There are big differences in most laws between someone who is 13 and 18.
In some areas out in the plains, rural kids are almost expected to know how to hunt before they can drive.
Many states require younger hunters to have taken a gun safety class and be with an older hunter.
yes...
u just have to stay with ur unclee.
No you do not have to stay with him. The legal age for hunting in most is 16, any age under that you are required to hunt with an adult.
Is it okay to do what. In our state, your people have to attend a gun safety course and get their own license. Of course, if you want to tag along with your uncle, and not carry a gun, that is something different then actually going hunting with him.
In Missouri where I live you can rifle hunt with a licensed hunter until your sixteenth birthday. Once you turn sixteen in Missouri to legally hunt you have to obtain a hunter safety permit by completing a course. At NO time is hunting with a HANDGUN legal for a minor UNLESS said minor is with a parent/guardian... NOT AN ADULT! So handgun hunting with an uncle is against the law. In Missouri it is against the law for a minor to even handle a handgun unless a parent or guardian is present. You can get a hunting license in Missouri at age twelve. You cannot legally handle a rifle or a shotgun until age sixteen. With a license before you actually turn sixteen you can hunt regular seasons and not have to be restricted to youth seasons.
yeahh. i know people that do that alll the time.
Yep, as long as your with your uncle, im taking my son who is 17.... as long as he stays near me he is good..... have fun hunting!!
Depends on the state you are going to hunt in. In New York You have be 16 and take a hunter';s safety course (this is for gun season I am not sure of age for Bow, It may be 14 or 16). But you can't buy a shotgun or rifle until you are 18. But reading over the NYS DEC website It doesn't say you can't hunt on your own as long as you are 16
It depends on what state your in. In Iowa, there is a youth season where this can be done, but you have to prove you have taken and passed a hunter safety class. it would be helpfull if you post what state your in.
If your uncle shoots like Dick Cheney, DON'T GO!

Why is hunting legal, but dogfighting is not?
There are several reasons, sadly. Hunting is still allowed partly because past hunting messed up the wild populations so badly that we have to hunt, just to keep the deer down. Years of killing predators who attacked livestock have made wolf, coyote, wild cat, and bear populations far too low to take care of the herbivores. And while many people hunt for sport, there are yet some people who do hunt for food, particularly in poorer areas of the country. Depending on where you are in Louisiana (where I live), some people consider venison a delicacy, and some people consider venison a necessity.
Dogs are seen completely differently that deer. They are not seen as prey creatures, they are seen as pets, and they are almost never eaten. Add to that the sheer cruelty of raising them in the ridiculously small kennels, training them for nothing but one purpose, and then killing or abandoning them if they are not vicious enough... While hunting can sometimes be misused by people who are only interested in trophies, particularly on farms where they release particular types of animals just so people can make sure there's one there to shoot, it is not as terrible a cruelty as the sheer waste that is dog fighting.
I'd personally like to outlaw trophy hunting altogether myself, but nobody asked me, so there.Why is hunting legal, but dogfighting is not?
Because hunting kills the animal painlessly.
Dogfighting tears them apart with sharp teeth and claws.
One is humane, the other is sick.Why is hunting legal, but dogfighting is not?
Following your logic: dogfighting should be legal too.
Hunting has a purpose, providing food.
Dog fighting is for illegal activities like betting and cruelty.
You must be referring to the vitters case.
I think treatment of the animal is the real issue.
in spite of all the lovely answers splitting hairs about why some animals deserve to live and others don't--i've got a much more cynical view.
people view hunting as a sport. people of all classes (in britain, mostly the super-duper rich) went hunting for food. deer don't count like dogs count.
people view dogfighting as their pets being attaked. it strikes our intuitions deeply and we find it disturbing. many more people have dogs as pets than deer.
keep in mind my favorite point--why must you notify an owner when you kill a pet, but if you hit a deer? move right along...?
Most people do not eat dogs. At least here they don't.
They aren't even comparable.
Hunting you kill the animal quickly and painlessly. The majority of hunters eat what they kill, therefore the animal didn't die in vain. The animal has had it's entire life up to that point to run free.
Dog fighting the animals suffered and get ripped to shreds, and it's only for the 'entertainment' of people watching. Usually when the animals aren't fighting, they are kept in undesirable conditions, like chained up.
Well This is a really touch subject but I will attempt to give you my answer.. Hunting is legal but is monitored because it provides food for people and is also a way to controll the amount of animals. For example deer hunting here in Indiana they will open it a extra week or two sometimes if there seem to be more deer in the area causing accidents or whatever..
Dog fighting is not right.. When A dog that is taught to fight another dog and kill it that is wrong .. Nothing but pain comes to the other dog.. And for instance when A fighting dog gets loss or escapes their owners the outcome is what my niece is now going through.. She has bit marks over 80% of her body. Dogs should be treated with respect and not taught to harm other dogs or humans.
I hope this gives you a answers .. Maybe not the one you wanted.
i see what your saying. but it still is sick. most of the answers are saying that hunting kills the animal quickly and painlessly but thats not always the case. but. hunting is legal because thats how it should be done. thats why people need to take classes and get liscenses to be allowed to hunt in the first place. I dont see the people forcing dogs to getting trained to do so. i see the people these dogs as a form of entertainment and no logic is behind that. it is cruel and the dogs forced to fight eachother are born for that soul purpose of dying.

What type of Guns do hunters use when hunting? Especially Deer?
This is a question that will vary from hunter to hunter me I prefer a bow when I was shooting a rifle for deer I preferred my 300 Savage or my 30-30What type of Guns do hunters use when hunting? Especially Deer?
Mostly shotguns with deer slugs. Some states allow rifles, some muzzel loaders, you can also hunt with a handgun, compound bow, cross bow, or long bow.What type of Guns do hunters use when hunting? Especially Deer?
Big Game Rifles preferably Bolt Action %26gt;%26gt; 30-06, 308, 30-30, 8mm Mauser, 270, 32 Winchester Special, 303 British, 30-40 Krag, Rifled Shotgun Slugs, 357 Magnum, 44 Magnum.* These are the most popular ones.*
it depends on the state you live in, and their laws. i live in indiana. hunting in state, shotgun 870 express and slugs. out of state {texas} rifle, 30-06.
It depends on your state's regulations, but I prefer a .25-06 or .30-06 bolt action rifle with a very good scope. I occasionally use a pistol when I am ending a season or doing ';cull hunts';, but that is not as effective as a rifle and takes a lot of practice at the range.
Depends on where I鈥檓 hunting. Here in NY some areas only allow archery while others allow archery, handgun and shotgun, and still others allow all the above and rifles.
I personally hunt whitetail deer with a handgun in 308win in all areas that allow firearms to be used.
I only take out the 30-06 rifle when I鈥檓 in an area where I might get a shot at a bear, the seasons run at the same time in some parts of the state.
Most around this area use a shotgun in 12 or 20ga. Once in a great while you鈥檒l run across someone with a 10ga.
In areas that allow rifle the most often seen caliber is the 30-06 and 270.
Some of the old timers still have the same 30-30 they have had for years but of the newer rifles this caliber is rare. I think this is a shame myself as the average shot around here is less than 100yards. The bigger rounds and short mags are over kill on the thin skinned whitetail.
For a more complete answer to your question that will actually help you in your area I would check with your local shooting range or sportsmans club.
While many don鈥檛 use this source your local game commission will also be able to give you what they have on record of the most used type of firearm and maybe even caliber. If they collect this data (some don鈥檛)

One's that go Bang when we pull the trigger. Don't worry,the Deer won't need any earplugs as the sound does not travel fast enough prior to their death.
Mostly rifles that are scoped, many are bolt action. Some are semi auto. Some states only allow shotguns with slugs. Some people hunt with large caliber, high power handguns. My uncle killed a deer once by a shot to the head from a .22LR fired from a rifle. More powerful rounds such as 30-06, .308 and 7mm Mag are more common since they allow more power at longer range, some are military designed, some are designed specifically for hunting. The weapons used vary greatly and there are few limits to what you can find. Some people even hunt with AKM-47's in semi auto with a 5 round magazine, larger than 5 is illegal. Others use old military surplus rifles such as the Mosin Nagant series of rifles. The possibilities are endless.
Most use rifles in calibers from .223 - 300 mags.
Bolt actions are most popular, but there are semi autos, lever actions, single shots,and pumps
Some use shotguns mostly 12 gauges with either buckshot or slugs.
Some use muzzleloaders , mostly .50cal
these are your most common however there are a lot of other
calibers and combinations of rifles, shotguns, handguns and muzzleloaders that some people use. I use all of the above
I use a 12 guage shotgun.
I use a .270 and have killed every deer ive ever shot with it.
well i live in ohio, where you arent alowed to use hih powered rifles. most people in ohio use 12 gauge shotguns, but i prefer the 50 cal muzzleloader.
Deer hunters use handguns, shotguns, and rifles.
Handgun hunters use large-bore revolvers and special single-shot handguns that can be chambered in rifle cartridges, though the rifle cartridges lose some effectiveness in the shorter barrel and require a bit of extra care.
In some states, neither handguns nor rifles are allowed, and hunters use shotguns, typically shooting slugs, and many now have special slug barrels just for that purpose.
Most popular are rifles (and the shorter carbines). These days, bolt-action rifles are most popular, followed by lever-actions, but single shots and even doubles are used, as well, though the doubles are rare due to their expense. Most popular are a variety of small-bore cartridges ranging from 6.5 to 8 mm in caliber are most common, but some of the higher-velocity miniatures and medium-bores are also seen. A few people use semi-automatic military style carbines, though they aren't a good choice, simply because they can be had cheaply for those who can't afford a proper hunting rifle, but that's out of necessity, not because they're a good choice. And then there are the primitive weapons, caplocks and flintlocks as were used in days long past.
Many places have 'shotgun only' deer season, this is usually because there is a concern about where errant bullets will go, and slugs don't go nearly as far. In those areas 12guage are the most common followed by 20 guage, and finally a few folks might use .410s, but most folks consider that pushing it.
In some areas of the country, like Texas for example, the whitetails tend to be pretty small critters, so there the 223 or 22-250 is plenty potent for them. In other areas, especially where deer have a lot of access to corn for food, they tend to grow bigger and .243 is generally accepted as a good lower end rifle for deer. It's not that a 22-250 couldn't do the job on most deer out there, it's just that there are that 10% of real big deer that the 22-250 might be inadequate for.
In the eastern heavily wooded areas, many folks still hunt with lever action 30-30 and 35remingtons and 32 specials. These folks don't go for long shots, so they want a fast handling gun that causes a big wound to stop the deer fast before he runs off.
The most common deer hunting chambering is 30-06, because it is such a multipurpose round, and .270, it's near twin.
Many deer have been taken by poachers using just a .22magnum, which lets us in on the truth. It is shot placement that counts. A 223 through the heart is going to be more effective than a 30-06 through the rump, or guts.
Also, part of the equation is choosing the proper bullet for the job, especially with 223 and 243 type guns. If the bore is .25 or smaller, you want pretty much the heaviest grain bullet you can find for your particular chambering
We use a 22-250. Some say it's too small, but people who can shoot and hit an animal in the right place have no problems.
Like others have said - the rules and regulations not only change from state to state - but sometimes even within a state.
Whatever you choose to hunt with - make sure that you get plenty of practice. You want to have the ability to quickly harvest your game (deer in this case).
Nothing annoys me more than people injuring an animal and I stumble upon it later.
Basically any rifle caliber between .243 and .30. Anything less is really too small and anything more is unecessary. Yes, I know, a .22 can kill a deer but so could a toothpick if used exactly right.
A shotgun, pistol, bow, and crossbows are also used.
ok really good guns are, 30/30, 30-06, and a lee enfield 1917 its a classic, the bullet with go right through both shoulderblades from far distances no problem.eye makeup
Mostly shotguns with deer slugs. Some states allow rifles, some muzzel loaders, you can also hunt with a handgun, compound bow, cross bow, or long bow.What type of Guns do hunters use when hunting? Especially Deer?
Big Game Rifles preferably Bolt Action %26gt;%26gt; 30-06, 308, 30-30, 8mm Mauser, 270, 32 Winchester Special, 303 British, 30-40 Krag, Rifled Shotgun Slugs, 357 Magnum, 44 Magnum.* These are the most popular ones.*
it depends on the state you live in, and their laws. i live in indiana. hunting in state, shotgun 870 express and slugs. out of state {texas} rifle, 30-06.
It depends on your state's regulations, but I prefer a .25-06 or .30-06 bolt action rifle with a very good scope. I occasionally use a pistol when I am ending a season or doing ';cull hunts';, but that is not as effective as a rifle and takes a lot of practice at the range.
Depends on where I鈥檓 hunting. Here in NY some areas only allow archery while others allow archery, handgun and shotgun, and still others allow all the above and rifles.
I personally hunt whitetail deer with a handgun in 308win in all areas that allow firearms to be used.
I only take out the 30-06 rifle when I鈥檓 in an area where I might get a shot at a bear, the seasons run at the same time in some parts of the state.
Most around this area use a shotgun in 12 or 20ga. Once in a great while you鈥檒l run across someone with a 10ga.
In areas that allow rifle the most often seen caliber is the 30-06 and 270.
Some of the old timers still have the same 30-30 they have had for years but of the newer rifles this caliber is rare. I think this is a shame myself as the average shot around here is less than 100yards. The bigger rounds and short mags are over kill on the thin skinned whitetail.
For a more complete answer to your question that will actually help you in your area I would check with your local shooting range or sportsmans club.
While many don鈥檛 use this source your local game commission will also be able to give you what they have on record of the most used type of firearm and maybe even caliber. If they collect this data (some don鈥檛)

One's that go Bang when we pull the trigger. Don't worry,the Deer won't need any earplugs as the sound does not travel fast enough prior to their death.
Mostly rifles that are scoped, many are bolt action. Some are semi auto. Some states only allow shotguns with slugs. Some people hunt with large caliber, high power handguns. My uncle killed a deer once by a shot to the head from a .22LR fired from a rifle. More powerful rounds such as 30-06, .308 and 7mm Mag are more common since they allow more power at longer range, some are military designed, some are designed specifically for hunting. The weapons used vary greatly and there are few limits to what you can find. Some people even hunt with AKM-47's in semi auto with a 5 round magazine, larger than 5 is illegal. Others use old military surplus rifles such as the Mosin Nagant series of rifles. The possibilities are endless.
Most use rifles in calibers from .223 - 300 mags.
Bolt actions are most popular, but there are semi autos, lever actions, single shots,and pumps
Some use shotguns mostly 12 gauges with either buckshot or slugs.
Some use muzzleloaders , mostly .50cal
these are your most common however there are a lot of other
calibers and combinations of rifles, shotguns, handguns and muzzleloaders that some people use. I use all of the above
I use a 12 guage shotgun.
I use a .270 and have killed every deer ive ever shot with it.
well i live in ohio, where you arent alowed to use hih powered rifles. most people in ohio use 12 gauge shotguns, but i prefer the 50 cal muzzleloader.
Deer hunters use handguns, shotguns, and rifles.
Handgun hunters use large-bore revolvers and special single-shot handguns that can be chambered in rifle cartridges, though the rifle cartridges lose some effectiveness in the shorter barrel and require a bit of extra care.
In some states, neither handguns nor rifles are allowed, and hunters use shotguns, typically shooting slugs, and many now have special slug barrels just for that purpose.
Most popular are rifles (and the shorter carbines). These days, bolt-action rifles are most popular, followed by lever-actions, but single shots and even doubles are used, as well, though the doubles are rare due to their expense. Most popular are a variety of small-bore cartridges ranging from 6.5 to 8 mm in caliber are most common, but some of the higher-velocity miniatures and medium-bores are also seen. A few people use semi-automatic military style carbines, though they aren't a good choice, simply because they can be had cheaply for those who can't afford a proper hunting rifle, but that's out of necessity, not because they're a good choice. And then there are the primitive weapons, caplocks and flintlocks as were used in days long past.
Many places have 'shotgun only' deer season, this is usually because there is a concern about where errant bullets will go, and slugs don't go nearly as far. In those areas 12guage are the most common followed by 20 guage, and finally a few folks might use .410s, but most folks consider that pushing it.
In some areas of the country, like Texas for example, the whitetails tend to be pretty small critters, so there the 223 or 22-250 is plenty potent for them. In other areas, especially where deer have a lot of access to corn for food, they tend to grow bigger and .243 is generally accepted as a good lower end rifle for deer.

What is a good name for a female hunting dog?
we are getting this puppy tomorrow and we can't find a name if anybody has any ideas please shareWhat is a good name for a female hunting dog?
Meesha, Nova, LaylaWhat is a good name for a female hunting dog?
Laska is the name of the setter in Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, and she was a hunting dog. Pilot was the name of the dog in Jane Eyre, presumably a hunting dog because she was owned by an upper-crust gentleman. John Steinbeck's standard poodle (male) was Charlie, and poodles are actually hunting dogs. Hemingway had a white french poodle that he and his wife left as babysitter of their baby when they went out for nights in Paris. His name was Rufus.
Laska is my personal favorite.

If I get caught job hunting and I get fired from my current job due to that, do I get unemployment in NY?
Your current employer can not legally fire you for looking for another job. If they do and you can prove it then call the labor board because it's not right!If I get caught job hunting and I get fired from my current job due to that, do I get unemployment in NY?
Tell me you are not job hunting whilst you are at work, supposedly working? If you are, you are crazy, putting your job at risk and if caught, may lose your job. Not for the job hunting, but for doing non -work related personal stuff whilst you're being paid for work and supposed to be working. i.e. you're not doing your job
Wait till you've finished work and do this out of work hoursIf I get caught job hunting and I get fired from my current job due to that, do I get unemployment in NY?
No you will be fired for cause.

Do you know anything about hunting Red Stag in Hungary?
I saw where you took the question of the hunting forum and was just wondering if you found out everything you were wondering. If you would like to talk to people who have hunted Stag in Hungary, call the outfitter you are planning on using and ask for former clients. Usually they leave their contact information so prospective hunters can talk to people who have actually hunted with the guide service in that area.
Hope this helps!

Is fishing a type of hunting?
There are people who complain about hunting, but why do they never complain about fishing; fish have rights tooIs fishing a type of hunting?
If you accept that idea, do you consider hunting to be a type of fishing?Is fishing a type of hunting?
yes and no.
bow fishing is a kind of hunting for fish.
By the way, do u think shark fishing should be called shark fishing. sharks arnt fish.
Lol.
Yes, it is.
I know that in California you have to have a hunting license to fish.
:/
Yes it is certainly is, it's a cruel blood sport....but....shhhh! Unlike fox hunting which is similar and supported by mostly Tories (so now banned), fishing is supported by mostly working class New Labour supporters so any chance of the Government banning it are nil and then minus a few.
You're confusing animals with people. Rights are endowed on people by people. Animals can not understand what rights are and there for can not have them.
I agree that fishing in its basic form can be classed as a form of hunting. However, in the UK one of the reasons we have any fish at all left in our inland waters is because of the fish stocking and preservation work done by fishing organisations. In fact many have been responsible for recovery and beautiful landscaping of old gravel, chalk and clay pits. The idea that fishing is a cruel sport is of course complete nonsense as fish do not feel pain and the majority of fishermen take great care to ensure their fish are not damaged. It is only trout and salmon fisheries were fish are killed and in these cases it is done quickly and the fish are eaten as food - so no better or worse than any other form or meat production.
yes they have rights the right to get caught and the right to fry and plate with lemon
I think it's just that the fish lack an organised, well structured anti hunting lobby...you have to admit, they are pretty stupid ...
well yes
yes it is
Is picking wildflowers a type of hunting? Of course it is. Wildflowers are people too. I saw them talking and singing in a Disney cartoon.
Fishing does contain one aspect of a ';true'; sport that hunting does not offer. It is called a successful catch and live release. I have yet to see a successful live release of anything having had large caliber bullets hurled at it. No, I am not attacking a hunters right to pursue meat to feed his family with nor am I advocating the release of all caught fish for I think nothing tastes better or is as beneficial to ones self as fresh caught game or fish. All animals have the God given right to taste good when cooked over an open flame.
i would never fish or hunt they should leave the animals alone
yes because you are capturing an animal and thats what hunting is defined as!
Yes, all sentient beings fear death, and fish are also sentient beings.
Fishing is a type of hunting but recreational fishermen do a lot towards conserving fish stocks and the enviroment so that there sport will remain viable, Unlike professional fisherman that drag massive nets around the ocean and catch everthing in it's path (including Dolphins) this 'bycatch' is then thrown away (dead of course) this isn't considered sport or hunting this is commercial vandalism!
i actually stalk fish when I'm in still-waters. i live in British Columbia and some of the lakes are crystal clear with mud bottoms so you can see the fish and learn their cruising patterns then predict where they will happen to go. on rivers knowing where the fish will lie at certain times of the day and season is most important to a successful fishing trip.
i would say yes it is a form of hunting.
on another note the people that complain about fishing and hunting have never purchased a license. the funds for enhancement projects are derived from the fees that fishermen and hunters pay for the privilege. without projects to stock and manage populations of any game (fish or animal) there would be a whole lot less.
Technically, yes.
It is a specialized type of hunting, and is differentiated by several factors: it uses a completely different type of equipment, different skills are needed to be successful, it's a different environment (you don't usually enter the fish's enviroment the way you do a deer's), etc.
On the political side, I guess they're pretty much the same whatever side you're on.
YES IT IS YOU CRAZY MOTHER TRUCKER AHHHHHHHHHHHHH TO MUCH SUGAR AHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY CANT I AHHHHHHHHH STOP AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH鈥?br>
yeah dude its hunting
yesYESyesYESyes
Use your common sense, if you have any. Take your political points somewhere else.
I think fishing is considered a sport.
Fishing is somewhat less objectionable because fish are coldblooded creatures.
DID YOU EVER GO TO A SLAUGHTERHOUSE ?
Yep - fishing is a form of hunting.
Why don't people complain about it? Well it has a lot to do with the fact that animals like foxes, deer etc are 'cute %26amp; cuddly' and have a personality. Whereas fish are scaley, cold and uninteresting.
TEchnically there is a difference. Hunting - you are looking for something. Fishing is to try to get something to come to you.
People who complain about fishing and hunting are totally ignorant of facts.They do not realize the amount of money and effort fisherman and hunters put forth to PRESERVE nature in general because what's good for the environment is good for all.Hunters and fisherman do more for the environment than all the ANTI'S combined. Of course fishing is a form of hunting but you have a choice to release with fishing.Remember that the apostles were fishermen. Would you criticize that too? Your time would be better spent planting a tree by a river (shade for fish, animals homes ) and plenty of nuts you could call friends.Please remember your right to remain scilent.
Well in a way you are correct.
Fishing is a type of hunting.
I guess maybe because we still have more fishes than animals!
Yes of course fishing is hunting, a very cruel type of hunting too.
I totally agree, anything where a living thing is caught and either killed or just chased for the fun is classed as hunting, this 100% includes fishing!
fishing can be a sport, letting the fish go..thats more in coarse fishing tho,(lake %26amp; rivers)

Question about switch blade for hunting? PLease help me.?
So me and my dad were planning on going hunting this weekend and i wanted to know, if my dad bought a switch blade, does he have to fill out paperwork before buying it? Does my dad have to fill out paperwork if we buy the switchblade at Big 5? The 10 dollar kind.Question about switch blade for hunting? PLease help me.?
Switchblade laws very state by state. There are several companies that sell switchblades, Microtech, Benchmade, M.O.D. (Masters of Defense), Boker and depending on your state laws the buying, possessing, carrying and use of switchblade knives are regulated. Some states have less stringent laws than others. They are NOT Illegal. Do a search on google for your state and it's laws concerning switchblades to find your answer or talk to local law enforcement. While not lawyers they usually have some idea as to what it legal, but ask a couple of guys.Question about switch blade for hunting? PLease help me.?
Bad idea%26gt; Buy a Buck knife or other quality hunting knife.*
They don't sell $10 switchblades at Big 5. If you saw a knife there you wanted, then yes your dad can buy it for you. It's just not called a switchblade.
Digger is correct.
Besides, what are you going to hunt with a $10 switchblade? Don't waste your money.
My dad never bought ME a switchblade.
Sounds more like an assisted action knife, not a true SB. I personaly do not like these knivies for hunting, get a nice fixed blade with a good belly on it aid in skinning...
Why would you want a switchblade on a hunting trip ?
Not knocking switchblades [ much ] ... but there's a variety of knife made for hunting : a HUNTING knife.
The reason being that if you're carving a stick, most any knife will do, but if you're carving a rear quarter off a deer you want something that can be strong enough without folding onto your fingers.
The only advantage of a switchblade is conceal-ability: in the woods, who cares ?
No switch blades for hunting.
Nope.
No OK.
There are some states that allow the possession of Switchblade knives, however there is a catch. Most states that allow the possession of switchblades have specific laws against carrying them on your person in public. In states where there are no carry laws, the statutes are often enforced and are usually class A Felony criminal charge. It is also common once charged,even as a first offense, that the defendant caught carrying the switchblade gets jail time.It is considered carrying/concealing a deadly weapon. Not worth the risk. It is also illegal to import them into the U.S. from another country...........
Besides, carrying one Hunting is hardly an excuse as there is no legitimate/legal reason to carry such a weapon while legitimately hunting..
Before considering purchasing one or carrying one, you need to contact your local law enforcement agency or sheriff's department to determine if in fact it is legal or not.
Real switchblade knives are illegal to possess in the US. If you're talking about a spring-assisted knife, they are regulated same as any other folding knife. There is no paperwork required to buy a knife.

Before considering purchasing one or carrying one, you need to contact your local law enforcement agency or sheriff's department to determine if in fact it is legal or not.
Real switchblade knives are illegal to possess in the US. If you're talking about a spring-assisted knife, they are regulated same as any other folding knife. There is no paperwork required to buy a knife.
Is a 3'; or 3 1/2'; 12ga shell better for waterfowl hunting?
i have a benlli supernove and i was wondering if i should use 3 or 3 1/2 inch shells for waterfowl ?Is a 3'; or 3 1/2'; 12ga shell better for waterfowl hunting?
Generally...
2 3/4'; for upland game.
3'; for most waterfowl.
3 1/2'; for geese.Is a 3'; or 3 1/2'; 12ga shell better for waterfowl hunting?
The 3 1/2 shell doesn't always give the best pattern. Often the shot string is too long. This can give the illusion of a better pattern when shooting a pattern board, but in reality the long shot string isn't the greatest for moving targets. The rear of the shot string can be too sparse and result in crippling hits when a clean miss would have been a better result.
for steel shot on ducks most 3'; works just fine. Big ducks at over 30 yds you might want the 3 1/2'; steel or the 3'; ';hevi-shot'; or ';High Density'; loads. You probably don't need BB steel except for the biggest ducks 2 or 3 steel works well %26amp; in close 4s work great. With the heavy nontoxics 5 or 6 works well and 7 or 7 1/2s are amazing on small or medium ducks close over decoys.
Geese you'd be well served with 3 1/2'; steel in BB, BBB and maybe T sizes %26amp; 3'; hevi shot types in #2-4 or maybe 3 1/2'; BB for big geese
I have the same model Benelli and believe it our not, on the range and definitely in the field, 3'; BB have out shot everything else. And, yes, I've tried 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 shells. Can't say the same for turkey loads, but it sure sends steel shot where it needs to be, good luck.
* There has been more waterfowl harvested with 2 3/4 inch than any others for decades.* 3 or 3 1/2 are not needed or necessary to harvest waterfowl or Upland Game like Pheasant, Woodcock, Grouse, Dove etc.*

Yes and Obama should take a ride with Ted Kennedy. Historically I would say that McCain would still be alive at the end of the day.

I am looking to buy a 357 or 44mag lever action rifle would these guns be a good all around hunting rifle?
I wouldn't be afraid to harvest a deer with the 357or 44mag rifle,been thinking the same thing too.I am looking to buy a 357 or 44mag lever action rifle would these guns be a good all around hunting rifle?
44 mag would be for under 100 yds but idk about .357 id get a .30-30 kid or a 30.06 im not sure but i think that there ammos actually cheaper than a .44!I am looking to buy a 357 or 44mag lever action rifle would these guns be a good all around hunting rifle?
Absolutely, however your effective range will be limited to only 100 to 125 yards with these calibers.* A better more practical Rifle would be the 30-06 caliber rifle.*
Pistol calibers in a rifle make sense for only some people.
Getting a new rifle for hunting? Get a rifle caliber.
If you want a lever action, by all means, take the 44 Mag, he has a lot more speed and energy. Lots of people hunt with a 44 and take deer every year. But they also have relatively close shots. Not more than a 100 yards with anyone I've ever asked. Mostly a great swamp, close shooting gun. I owned one for years, but finally sold it. My deer hunting can be from 40 yards to 200! The 44 Mag just wouldn't do that out to that distance! If you want to check it out, Go to www.federalpremium.com and check out the balistics for yourself. You will see what I mean by the 44 outperforming the 357. Federal has a balistics chart you can download on to your desk top. It's a great tool!
Best all around hunting rifle? Not. Handy carbine/rifle to have around? Definitely. The .44 Magnum is the better choice.
H
For up to about 100 yds.
I'm not a big fan of hunting with pistol caliber rifles, but of the 2 calibers you gave, the 44mag would have to be the top choice.
For deer sized game out to 100 yards or so, the 44 would be alright. The 357 would be a good choice for plinking and small game but for anything else go with the 44. As already mentioned a 30-30 or larger rifle caliber would be a more versatile choice for hunting.
As long as you respect the range limitations, a good lever-action carbine or short rifle in .357 or .44 RemMag makes a fine hunting rifle. And a .357 Magnum Rossi M-92 SRC makes a fine Social Rifle. They hit hard, recoil is mild, and you can top off the magazine without rendering your rifle unable to fire.
If you reload, you can easily handload a .357 Magnum carbine to equal the lower power levels of a .30-30 WCF, and the .44 RemMag can get into .45-70 power levels.
If you don't reload, I think you'd be better off with a .44 RemMag carbine. I highly recommend the Rossi M-92 Saddle Ring Carbine. It is based on the Model 1892 Browning-designed action and is considerably stronger than the actions of the Winchester M-94 or Marlin M-1894 actions.
Doc
They are OK but they shoot basically a pistol round. A bolt action riffle will have better range. The L/A should be good for hunting in wooded areas where you will get up close to the game.
for deeer, hog, and other game in a wooded area, yes a 44 mag will work just fine. The hottest 357 loads are just a bit shy of the 30-30, but just doesn't ahve the range. The 44 mag may even have a little bit more knockdown at closer ranges, but again the 30-30 exceeds it down range a little bit.
This would also make an excellent multipurpose survival gun, or a camp gun. What it won't do is work for elk and other big game or long range shots
Even if you own .357 or .44 revolvers, you should buy a gun in a stronger caliber. Even the lowly, flat tipped .30-30 makes the revolver rounds shot out of a rifle look very weak. I would say the an all around hunting rifle should have greater range than all 3 guns already mentioned, and should support a point blank range of over 250 yards. Pointy bullets delivered quickly are needed. Cartridges include .270 Win., 7mm-08, .308 Win. .308 Marlin Express, .30-06 or equivalent.

Whats better for black bear hunting 35. rem or 7mm wsm and which grain bullets would you use thanks?
200 grain 35 remington. That gun is seriously good black bear medicine. It is like a 30-30 but blasts larger holes. It is also relatively light recoiling. The round is normally chambered in light, fast handling carbines, intended for hunting in thick brush. Black bear hunting tends to be a relatively short range affair.
Now, the 7mm WSM is a fine cartridge for long range shooting of deer and elk, but the 35 remington is a much better choice for bear hunting.
I'd go with a 200 grain bullet by a reputable maker like this one right here
http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/BrowsePr鈥?/a>
That is some serious black bear medicine. Don't be fooled by the ft-lbs figure, that always favors lightweight fast bullets. Momentum is another good predictor of terminal performance, and this load has it in spadesWhats better for black bear hunting 35. rem or 7mm wsm and which grain bullets would you use thanks?
either one is a great round for two different reasons, first the 35 rem is great in heavy brush out to about 60 yards thats why they call it a brush buster.second the 7mm mag is a great belted round for a couple of reasons first being it will have plenty of knock down power for really any north american big game and second it is a great flat shooting round with 165gr to 175gr bullets out to about 290 yards also I think the point blank range is 360 yards for the heavy 175gr bullet which is more than far enough to make a clean and humane kill. I have taken bear with both of these rounds at the distances above with no problems.It comes down to a matter of choice as to which way you want to go and where you will hunt,heavy forest or open fields.Whats better for black bear hunting 35. rem or 7mm wsm and which grain bullets would you use thanks?
The 35 Remington is the Best choice according to the Winchester Product Ballistics Service Manuel for 2008 they recommend you use the 200 grain Power- Point Bullet.* Maximum effective range of the 35 remington is 200 yards.* Muzzle velocity is 2,050 Ft per sec.*..Recoil energy is 13.5.*..
i would go with the 7mm wsm . the 35 rem is just a little more powerful than a 30-30 , and for bear hunting i would want a more powerful gun.
stick with the 7mm wsm or a 30-06 .
if I had to trust my life to one of them, it would be the 7mm, It would give you a better penetration to more of the vitals.
180 grain out of 7mm and i think shaun j should go **** himself then go **** peta while he is at it i relie on hunting or survival abd its people like him who will have that right taken

Do a little research about hunting laws etc and take the test.. Then you'll be required to shoot a gun at a piece of paper... Fairly simple... Hope I helped!!!

Im 18 and thinking of getting a m4a3 at academy i live in texas is it ok for deer hunting? thanks?
.223 is fine for hunting deer in Texas. Limit your shots to under 150 yards and put them right behind the front leg in the arm pit so to speak. If you cannot put the shot there pass it up. Use soft point bullets. It may run 50 or so yards with a bullet though its lungs and heart but its dead just the same. I got a .222 when I was 16 years old in Remington 600. I shot deer and more deer and never owned another rifle much of the time until I was 40. I shot 1 to 3 deer a year. I have also shot them in the head and in the neck but find these shots often do not make clean, quick kills and though the deer is down fast with a broken neck you must go finish it off (no different with a bigger round). A task I prefer not to do. I have also shot deer with 22-250, Remington 7mm Mag, 25-06, .243, shotgun, 30-06 and a compound bow. Given my druthers I would choose the 25-06 but .223 will do the job. Any center fire cartridge is legal for deer in Texas. You know all the deer I shot with that little .222 were just as dead as the ones I shot with the others. I did find the bow to be unsatisfactory because I never could put the arrow exactly where i wanted like I could with my .222 so I gave it up. Learn marksmanship. If you can put a bullet in a 2'; circle at 100 yards you can take any deer out a that distance without a problem. I also took several feral hogs with the same gun, all died from a bad cough and swiftly.
Watch the the thumbs downs roll in here my friend.Im 18 and thinking of getting a m4a3 at academy i live in texas is it ok for deer hunting? thanks?
the .223 or 5.56 is not reccomened for deer hunting.It does have not have very good knockdown power and it loses energy very quicklyIm 18 and thinking of getting a m4a3 at academy i live in texas is it ok for deer hunting? thanks?
the most originally gun to hunt deer with depending on where you live is a shotgun with some exceptions like if you live in montainous places a rifle or sniper rifle is a good gun to go with
Though legal in TX, it's a darned poor choice. You're a bit old to be playing ';army,'; so I'll refrain from suggesting a paintball gun as was my initial thought. If you want to hunt deer, get a gun made for the purpose and chambered for a caliber suitable for the purpose. Something between 250 Savage and 280 Remington would be a good caliber, though of course you can go bigger. And you'll find a bolt action, lever action, or even a single shot will be more suitable.
the .223 and/or 5.56 is not generally recommended as a good whitetail round, it just doesn't have enough power to reliably kill with a heart/lungs/liver vitals hit.
However, the one exception to this is Texas, where the whitetails tend to be much smaller than in Wisconson, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and some other places that can grow monsterous bucks.
The AR-15 is a fine platform to use for a hunting gun, but I don't think the features of the M4A3 are good for hunting.
I don't see a need for a collapsable stock on a hunting gun. While the stocks used by the AR-15 family are generally pretty sturdy, they never seem to be quite as sturdy as a true solid stock. Further, check wield if you are using a scope is lessened by this design.
Also, the 5.56 really looses velocity from shorter barrels. Now, the Bushy M4 barrel plus muzzle break isn't quite as short as a regular M4 (and nowhere near as short as the old Colt Commando) still, to me you are asking for trouble taking a marginal cartridge and hamstringing it with such a short barrel.
Stick to 20 inch barrels, and if you really want a collapsable stock go with the magpul UBR stock.

Torchwood looks like a remake. Did we have a show in the past about a special team hunting aliens?
There are a few shows out there about a special team hunting aliens or monsters or dinosaurs or whatever... X-Files, Stargate, Primeval, Supernatural, Sanctuary, Hex, etc.
Torchwood itself was a concept by Russell T. Davies that he never got off the ground until after he got involved with the reboot of Doctor Who. Once he got the greenlight to do a spin-off he adapted his original Torchwood idea, called Excalibur, to the Who-niverse but gave it a darker edge.
There are a few things that set Torchwood apart from the shows mentioned above... the overtly sexual tone of the show, Captain Jack (who is funny, sexy, awkward, and sometimes totally dumb - however, I love how he is the man in charge on Torchwood yet is smart enough to step aside when he is around the Doctor), a bendable code of ethics, and character development.
I also love that Torchwood is an anagram for Doctor Who... while inferior to Doctor Who, Torchwood is a decent show that is getting better with each series.

I got a drunk driving about 5 years ago will Canada let me in to go whitetail hunting?
You have to show rehabilitation; this typically means no DWI/DUI charges (note that it is ';charges';, not simply ';convictions';!) for at least 10 years. The time scale starts rolling after you've completed whatever sentence was received for the incident.
If you've had more than two (total) charges ... and no, they don't get expunged from your record ... you are deemed ';incorrigible'; and are therefore permanently banned.I got a drunk driving about 5 years ago will Canada let me in to go whitetail hunting?
Sure hope not. Last thing we need is another drunk with a gun.I got a drunk driving about 5 years ago will Canada let me in to go whitetail hunting?
You will be inadmissible for entry to Canada for any DUI offence in any country unless you are deemed to have been rehabilitated. DUI is a very big deal in Canada.

Whats the name of the movie about Africa and hunting for elephant tusks and what not?
From what I remember the movie is about two teenage kids,a boy and a girl, whose families were killed in Africa and they both ran away from the hunters who also go around hunting elephants illegally for ivory.Whats the name of the movie about Africa and hunting for elephant tusks and what not?

Do you think Cheney will offer to take Obama hunting?
Your are still not right.. LOL LOL LOL Do you think Cheney will offer to take Obama hunting?
no , obama is too full of hot air , and as it leaks out .. it will scare away any wildlife in the area. besides , Cheney has better taste in his hunting partners ...Do you think Cheney will offer to take Obama hunting?
I doubt it. Cheney hunts ducks and Obama hunts dissenters. Two totally different species.
Cheney loves to hunt, he should invite Obama to go hunting Moose-lims
in Alaska and they can take Sarah Palin with them
Yes, and Obama is going to wear a bullet proof face shield.
Probably not. Bucks aren't in season.

In close range
1). 10 gauge
2).12 gauge
3). 357 magnum is a very lethal weapon, but a shotgun is better for close range
4) .22 can be used for a far range and it is lethal considering the size of the bullet. I have a .22 that I have killed a deer with it's accurate up to about 50 yards.
mid-long range
1). .308
2). 30x6
3). 7mm and the 30-30 are debatable, but I would say the 7mm.Please rank these hunting guns by lethality/power?
It's quite pointless and impossible to make comparisons among handgun, rifle, and shotgun chamberings absent the intended application. A very powerful shotgun at close range is useless at ranges that are quite modest rifle-shooting distances, for instance. Also, 22 LR is considerably more powerful in a rifle than in a handgun, as is 357 Magnum in a carbine compared to a revolver.
A 10 gauge shotgun with 3'; chamber shoots about the same amount of shot as a 12 gauge with a 3 1/2'; chamber, at about the same velocity. So you have to look more closely at chambering than just the bore size.
Among your rifle calibers, 30-06 is slightly more powerful than 308 Winchester, which is in turn more powerful than 30-30. There are quite a few 7mm rifle cartridges, and the bore size is .284';, so the bullets are of smaller diameter than the 30 caliber rifles. But bullet weight also comes into play, and some of the cartridges are of considerably more power than others. 30-06 was designed to be more powerful than the 7mm Mauser, for instance, but 7mm Remington Magnum shooting a 160 grain bullet at 3000 fps may outperform 30-06 with a 165 grain bullet at 2800 fps; at least they're very close. Here the specific choice of bullet may make the difference, as does the task you're trying to accomplish.
I'm going to assume that 30 x 6 means 30-06. Also, those are different chamberings, not specific firearms. There's also shotguns mixed with rifles in the list. That's like comparing apples and oranges.
Comparing ';lethaility'; is nonsensical. Dead is dead, it doesn't come in differing degrees. It doesn't matter if death is the result of a .22 or a .30-06, the results are equally lethal.
Some rounds have higher velocities, they use differing bullet weights, and they are all useful in certain circumstances.
The firearm should match the job. For rabbit hunting I'll go with a .22. For deer, the .30-06 would dod just fine.
DUH..
Those are not guns, those are cartridges.
30x6...I suppose you mean 30-06? In a rifle that is the top of the list.
Shot guns have no where near the power of a bullet so they would be near the bottom of the list. Unless you are talking about up close and using slugs.
Also it makes a big difference in barrel length. 357 mag in a pistol or a rifle?
Your list is lame. Just go to a website that has ballistic charts and look to see which has the highest muzzle energy and that will allow you to arrange your own list.
The lethality.. as you put it.. is there for each of the gun sizes you picked. Lethal,, as in they will all kill. It isn't fair to compare rifles to handguns or to shotguns.. or vice versa. Each is designed for a certain purpose. Shotguns loaded with field loads are lethal out 20 yards or so and more for birds. As for when loaded with buckshot however, is totally devastating at close range and the killing range will increase out to 100 yards or so.

Go to Google and put in ';hunting + deer'; or ';hunting + birds'; or ';hunting + places';..that should help you out.What are some good places to go hunting? I dont hunt but I need it for a project.?
in the forest in most states .lol
in wood's for deer, by a lake for ducks, in a field for rabbit's and pheasants,in florida swamp for alligators...
in the bushes after sounding the fire alarm{think Columbine high} maybe at the post office{going pastel} in the trunk of your car {think Washington DC.} camp crystal lake {think Jason Varese} so lets be more in depth on what your going after Germans,Japan, Packston Iran, Ir ac, or maybe your after birds or whit tail or big game elk,bear,moose lion, tiger so ask in more detail thanks
It depends what type of hunting you are doing. For squirrels or other small game larger patches of woods produce great places to hunt. Find the animals food source and their nest, and you should be successful, especially at dawn and dusk. Hunting deer and turkey is usually best on edges of fields, but you still want to hunt where they feed or bed down at at dawn and dusk.
IN AFRICA.
thanx for not hunting plz go to this site www.stopkillinganimals.com
Upper Peninsula MI
or Alaska
were the game is .there are better then average places but a good hunter well bag his game in any are that game is present
Illinois has some nice whitetails.
U.P of Michigan isnt all that. I would say Northern Michigan.
hunting the Adirondack mt. in northern n.y. is the best. Teddy Roosevelt would have attested to this

Is it common hunting practice to take down a boar with only a spear? And without using dogs to tire it.?
Tired of hunting boar with my recurve, I'm looking into hunting one down just with a set of throwing boar spears.Is it common hunting practice to take down a boar with only a spear? And without using dogs to tire it.?
after you have become so profitiant with the spear that you can hit a 6 inch circle with minimum penatration at 25 yards yes you can. I seen it done in texas on the king ranch at four arrows. the guide carries a rifle in case you screw up but you will still be charged trophy fees etc if they have to kill it for you. he was in your same boat he used recurves he made himself he was very wealthy and had lots of time on his hands. he practiced 4 hours a day and he would let you mark an X on his target he could actually touch somewhere on the X with a part of the spear 4 out of 5 times. I asked if he would step back to 30 yards and he said that would be unethical for the boar. I got his point.Is it common hunting practice to take down a boar with only a spear? And without using dogs to tire it.?
I have seen the crazy unethical hunter on the Versus channel kill a boar with a knife. As hunters, we have the responsibility to hunt and kill humanely. This means using the proper broadhead or caliber when hunting.
This is an inhumane and even dangerous way to hunt. It might not even be legal in your state. Don't risk your life and give us all bad names. Use the proper gun or bow and obey your local and state hunting laws.
Well the English use to do what the Called Pig Sticking, what they would do is run it down with a horse and use the spear to stab it while still on the horse.
There is yet another technique employed some where around Spain where the wild boar are put to bay by dogs and when the hunter get there he pulls his knife and jumps on the wild boar and try鈥檚 to stab it to death, before it gets him.
But I鈥檓 too old and smart for either of these sports.
I鈥檒l stick with my pistol, rifle, muzzleloader or bow.
That my opinion.

While I'm sure our ancestors fed themselves in this way, with the availablity of more humane methods of the kill this is somewhat barbaric.
Ok Tarzan,
I have hunted dangerous game in Africa, Mexico and Canada. I am a human being and as such I use tools that better my chances of not being mauled or killed. I understand your need to feel MACHO, but hunting a boar that can easily turn around and run by you leaving a 5 inch or bigger gash that'll surely get infected is not my idea of fun. Still, some hunters do it. If you really want to, I'll provide the ranch. You would first have to waive your rights to sue me if you loose your leg or worse while taking this challenge on.

If your going hunting and your not 21 but your with your uncle is it ok?
In my state it's OK, but if you are 12 or over you need a license of your own. Check with your local hunter safety people.If your going hunting and your not 21 but your with your uncle is it ok?
It's ok as long as you don't get the gun in your hands!
Hey, are you from Cyprus? : ) Hunting season has just started there today.If your going hunting and your not 21 but your with your uncle is it ok?
It depends on your local laws and what you mean by ';not 21';.
There are big differences in most laws between someone who is 13 and 18.
In some areas out in the plains, rural kids are almost expected to know how to hunt before they can drive.
Many states require younger hunters to have taken a gun safety class and be with an older hunter.
yes...
u just have to stay with ur unclee.
No you do not have to stay with him. The legal age for hunting in most is 16, any age under that you are required to hunt with an adult.
Is it okay to do what. In our state, your people have to attend a gun safety course and get their own license. Of course, if you want to tag along with your uncle, and not carry a gun, that is something different then actually going hunting with him.
In Missouri where I live you can rifle hunt with a licensed hunter until your sixteenth birthday. Once you turn sixteen in Missouri to legally hunt you have to obtain a hunter safety permit by completing a course. At NO time is hunting with a HANDGUN legal for a minor UNLESS said minor is with a parent/guardian... NOT AN ADULT! So handgun hunting with an uncle is against the law. In Missouri it is against the law for a minor to even handle a handgun unless a parent or guardian is present. You can get a hunting license in Missouri at age twelve. You cannot legally handle a rifle or a shotgun until age sixteen. With a license before you actually turn sixteen you can hunt regular seasons and not have to be restricted to youth seasons.
yeahh. i know people that do that alll the time.
Yep, as long as your with your uncle, im taking my son who is 17.... as long as he stays near me he is good..... have fun hunting!!
Depends on the state you are going to hunt in. In New York You have be 16 and take a hunter';s safety course (this is for gun season I am not sure of age for Bow, It may be 14 or 16). But you can't buy a shotgun or rifle until you are 18. But reading over the NYS DEC website It doesn't say you can't hunt on your own as long as you are 16
It depends on what state your in. In Iowa, there is a youth season where this can be done, but you have to prove you have taken and passed a hunter safety class. it would be helpfull if you post what state your in.
If your uncle shoots like Dick Cheney, DON'T GO!

Why is hunting legal, but dogfighting is not?
There are several reasons, sadly. Hunting is still allowed partly because past hunting messed up the wild populations so badly that we have to hunt, just to keep the deer down. Years of killing predators who attacked livestock have made wolf, coyote, wild cat, and bear populations far too low to take care of the herbivores. And while many people hunt for sport, there are yet some people who do hunt for food, particularly in poorer areas of the country. Depending on where you are in Louisiana (where I live), some people consider venison a delicacy, and some people consider venison a necessity.
Dogs are seen completely differently that deer. They are not seen as prey creatures, they are seen as pets, and they are almost never eaten. Add to that the sheer cruelty of raising them in the ridiculously small kennels, training them for nothing but one purpose, and then killing or abandoning them if they are not vicious enough... While hunting can sometimes be misused by people who are only interested in trophies, particularly on farms where they release particular types of animals just so people can make sure there's one there to shoot, it is not as terrible a cruelty as the sheer waste that is dog fighting.
I'd personally like to outlaw trophy hunting altogether myself, but nobody asked me, so there.Why is hunting legal, but dogfighting is not?
Because hunting kills the animal painlessly.
Dogfighting tears them apart with sharp teeth and claws.
One is humane, the other is sick.Why is hunting legal, but dogfighting is not?
Following your logic: dogfighting should be legal too.
Hunting has a purpose, providing food.
Dog fighting is for illegal activities like betting and cruelty.
You must be referring to the vitters case.
I think treatment of the animal is the real issue.
in spite of all the lovely answers splitting hairs about why some animals deserve to live and others don't--i've got a much more cynical view.
people view hunting as a sport. people of all classes (in britain, mostly the super-duper rich) went hunting for food. deer don't count like dogs count.
people view dogfighting as their pets being attaked. it strikes our intuitions deeply and we find it disturbing. many more people have dogs as pets than deer.
keep in mind my favorite point--why must you notify an owner when you kill a pet, but if you hit a deer? move right along...?
Most people do not eat dogs. At least here they don't.
They aren't even comparable.
Hunting you kill the animal quickly and painlessly. The majority of hunters eat what they kill, therefore the animal didn't die in vain. The animal has had it's entire life up to that point to run free.
Dog fighting the animals suffered and get ripped to shreds, and it's only for the 'entertainment' of people watching. Usually when the animals aren't fighting, they are kept in undesirable conditions, like chained up.
Well This is a really touch subject but I will attempt to give you my answer.. Hunting is legal but is monitored because it provides food for people and is also a way to controll the amount of animals. For example deer hunting here in Indiana they will open it a extra week or two sometimes if there seem to be more deer in the area causing accidents or whatever..
Dog fighting is not right.. When A dog that is taught to fight another dog and kill it that is wrong .. Nothing but pain comes to the other dog.. And for instance when A fighting dog gets loss or escapes their owners the outcome is what my niece is now going through.. She has bit marks over 80% of her body. Dogs should be treated with respect and not taught to harm other dogs or humans.
I hope this gives you a answers .. Maybe not the one you wanted.
i see what your saying. but it still is sick. most of the answers are saying that hunting kills the animal quickly and painlessly but thats not always the case. but. hunting is legal because thats how it should be done. thats why people need to take classes and get liscenses to be allowed to hunt in the first place. I dont see the people forcing dogs to getting trained to do so. i see the people these dogs as a form of entertainment and no logic is behind that. it is cruel and the dogs forced to fight eachother are born for that soul purpose of dying.eye makeup

What type of Guns do hunters use when hunting? Especially Deer?
This is a question that will vary from hunter to hunter me I prefer a bow when I was shooting a rifle for deer I preferred my 300 Savage or my 30-30What type of Guns do hunters use when hunting? Especially Deer?
Mostly shotguns with deer slugs. Some states allow rifles, some muzzel loaders, you can also hunt with a handgun, compound bow, cross bow, or long bow.What type of Guns do hunters use when hunting? Especially Deer?
Big Game Rifles preferably Bolt Action %26gt;%26gt; 30-06, 308, 30-30, 8mm Mauser, 270, 32 Winchester Special, 303 British, 30-40 Krag, Rifled Shotgun Slugs, 357 Magnum, 44 Magnum.* These are the most popular ones.*
it depends on the state you live in, and their laws. i live in indiana. hunting in state, shotgun 870 express and slugs. out of state {texas} rifle, 30-06.
It depends on your state's regulations, but I prefer a .25-06 or .30-06 bolt action rifle with a very good scope. I occasionally use a pistol when I am ending a season or doing ';cull hunts';, but that is not as effective as a rifle and takes a lot of practice at the range.
Depends on where I鈥檓 hunting. Here in NY some areas only allow archery while others allow archery, handgun and shotgun, and still others allow all the above and rifles.
I personally hunt whitetail deer with a handgun in 308win in all areas that allow firearms to be used.
I only take out the 30-06 rifle when I鈥檓 in an area where I might get a shot at a bear, the seasons run at the same time in some parts of the state.
Most around this area use a shotgun in 12 or 20ga. Once in a great while you鈥檒l run across someone with a 10ga.
In areas that allow rifle the most often seen caliber is the 30-06 and 270.
Some of the old timers still have the same 30-30 they have had for years but of the newer rifles this caliber is rare. I think this is a shame myself as the average shot around here is less than 100yards. The bigger rounds and short mags are over kill on the thin skinned whitetail.
For a more complete answer to your question that will actually help you in your area I would check with your local shooting range or sportsmans club.
While many don鈥檛 use this source your local game commission will also be able to give you what they have on record of the most used type of firearm and maybe even caliber. If they collect this data (some don鈥檛)

One's that go Bang when we pull the trigger. Don't worry,the Deer won't need any earplugs as the sound does not travel fast enough prior to their death.
Mostly rifles that are scoped, many are bolt action. Some are semi auto. Some states only allow shotguns with slugs. Some people hunt with large caliber, high power handguns. My uncle killed a deer once by a shot to the head from a .22LR fired from a rifle. More powerful rounds such as 30-06, .308 and 7mm Mag are more common since they allow more power at longer range, some are military designed, some are designed specifically for hunting. The weapons used vary greatly and there are few limits to what you can find. Some people even hunt with AKM-47's in semi auto with a 5 round magazine, larger than 5 is illegal. Others use old military surplus rifles such as the Mosin Nagant series of rifles. The possibilities are endless.
Most use rifles in calibers from .223 - 300 mags.
Bolt actions are most popular, but there are semi autos, lever actions, single shots,and pumps
Some use shotguns mostly 12 gauges with either buckshot or slugs.
Some use muzzleloaders , mostly .50cal
these are your most common however there are a lot of other
calibers and combinations of rifles, shotguns, handguns and muzzleloaders that some people use. I use all of the above
I use a 12 guage shotgun.
I use a .270 and have killed every deer ive ever shot with it.
well i live in ohio, where you arent alowed to use hih powered rifles. most people in ohio use 12 gauge shotguns, but i prefer the 50 cal muzzleloader.
Deer hunters use handguns, shotguns, and rifles.
Handgun hunters use large-bore revolvers and special single-shot handguns that can be chambered in rifle cartridges, though the rifle cartridges lose some effectiveness in the shorter barrel and require a bit of extra care.
In some states, neither handguns nor rifles are allowed, and hunters use shotguns, typically shooting slugs, and many now have special slug barrels just for that purpose.
Most popular are rifles (and the shorter carbines). These days, bolt-action rifles are most popular, followed by lever-actions, but single shots and even doubles are used, as well, though the doubles are rare due to their expense. Most popular are a variety of small-bore cartridges ranging from 6.5 to 8 mm in caliber are most common, but some of the higher-velocity miniatures and medium-bores are also seen. A few people use semi-automatic military style carbines, though they aren't a good choice, simply because they can be had cheaply for those who can't afford a proper hunting rifle, but that's out of necessity, not because they're a good choice. And then there are the primitive weapons, caplocks and flintlocks as were used in days long past.
Many places have 'shotgun only' deer season, this is usually because there is a concern about where errant bullets will go, and slugs don't go nearly as far. In those areas 12guage are the most common followed by 20 guage, and finally a few folks might use .410s, but most folks consider that pushing it.
In some areas of the country, like Texas for example, the whitetails tend to be pretty small critters, so there the 223 or 22-250 is plenty potent for them. In other areas, especially where deer have a lot of access to corn for food, they tend to grow bigger and .243 is generally accepted as a good lower end rifle for deer. It's not that a 22-250 couldn't do the job on most deer out there, it's just that there are that 10% of real big deer that the 22-250 might be inadequate for.
In the eastern heavily wooded areas, many folks still hunt with lever action 30-30 and 35remingtons and 32 specials. These folks don't go for long shots, so they want a fast handling gun that causes a big wound to stop the deer fast before he runs off.
The most common deer hunting chambering is 30-06, because it is such a multipurpose round, and .270, it's near twin.
Many deer have been taken by poachers using just a .22magnum, which lets us in on the truth. It is shot placement that counts. A 223 through the heart is going to be more effective than a 30-06 through the rump, or guts.
Also, part of the equation is choosing the proper bullet for the job, especially with 223 and 243 type guns. If the bore is .25 or smaller, you want pretty much the heaviest grain bullet you can find for your particular chambering
We use a 22-250. Some say it's too small, but people who can shoot and hit an animal in the right place have no problems.
Like others have said - the rules and regulations not only change from state to state - but sometimes even within a state.
Whatever you choose to hunt with - make sure that you get plenty of practice. You want to have the ability to quickly harvest your game (deer in this case).
Nothing annoys me more than people injuring an animal and I stumble upon it later.
Basically any rifle caliber between .243 and .30. Anything less is really too small and anything more is unecessary. Yes, I know, a .22 can kill a deer but so could a toothpick if used exactly right.
A shotgun, pistol, bow, and crossbows are also used.
ok really good guns are, 30/30, 30-06, and a lee enfield 1917 its a classic, the bullet with go right through both shoulderblades from far distances no problem.
