Everything the guys have said is true. Even if it might be legal in some places, it's not ethical in my opinion also.
Take a look at my new post on "A Bear with a Twenty-two".

Unless you're a poacher this should be a dead issue, no pun intended. 22's are for small game/plinking/targets.

I not meaningly hit a deer in the eye with my bow, i dont knwo what the heck hapened. I must have flinched or something, but it definitly did not suffer, dropped right there. I was shocked when i walked up to it and it was through its head. I thought i actually made a good heart shot or something and dropped it. Kinda made me feel bad but at least i got a deer i guess.
