While squirrle hunting with a friend we had a deer pass within 4 yards of us. I told him it was to bad we didn't have a deer tag, for I could kill the deer with my 22. He told me I was crazy. I tried to tell him if yo hit it the eye, it would go down like a sack of potatoes. Can anyone tell me which os us is right? thanks, john

If you use a 22LR on deer, I hope you get caught. If you are that unethical with disregard for the laws, you are most likely an unsafe hunter.

Used a 22LR for decades for butchering 2 to 3 year old beef steers. It was the weapon of choice for the Mob. Point, a 22LR is deadly and not a toy.
