Canada makes defense plans against eventual US invasion. It is all theoretical, and academic, of course. Not that they mean serious.... But the contingency plan includes hit and run tactics, and civil insurgency. Now this makes me lough - they count on civilians, after they duly confiscated...

Whaaaat?! Did he offer any explanation?

I couldnt find nothing, except first three google checks have shown to this forum, and when clicked, 2 of them were deleted. This one remained.

You are in educated majority. I was thinking the same. DG is close range affair. And then, I had a chance in the open on ele and on the buff at 100 meters. I took the chance. Successfully. The point is: be ready for every eventuality, and be ready for longer shots - bolt action has advantage...

I am in "bigger the better group", I do not hunt with bow, or with pistol, or with crossbow. I believe following: Unless you hit vitals, and the animal is wounded, then it will expire due to bleeding. Bigger hole, bleeds better. That is undisputable fact. Also, I hate tracking on spoor. So, I...
