(9,214 posts)If you were talking about deer hunting, I didn't get it from your statement on the legality of hunting with a .22
You said: My comment has always been that you can't hunt with a .22LR, at least not legally,
I said:Funny, I hunted legally with a .22 rifle for years, must be a state or regional thing.
So if you know the history of the 30-06 how can you justify this statement: Furthermore, how many deaths are a result of .30-06? Likely few.
But I will agree the 30-06 is a prolific and popular big game rifle as is the 30-30.
I live in New York state, sorry you can't hunt small game wherever you are. I know rabbits are still legal to hunt but as far as frogs are concerned, I'm not sure, haven't hunted them or any small game in years, maybe frogs are not legal anymore. Not sure if it was a requirement because of the richochet thing but we always used .22 shorts for frogs because that was all you needed. But this was just a diversion wasn't it, you almost slipped one past me.
So as long as you are still conversing, how about some answers? Seeing as you never hunted small game before, would you like to hazard a guess as to the remains of a rabbit or squirrel after being shot by a 30-06? You are right no matter what the legality and the fact that frog legs are delicious, we should leave them alone. Knowing the history of NATO rounds do you still stand by this statement: As for caliber, a .22 can be just as deadly as a .30-06.
