I dont know. I bet within Bow Range. A +p HP load and got shot placement, a Hi-Point Carbine would do the trick.. I bet it would drop a deer.. I wouldnt even think about it on hogs. But a deer is thin skinned.. Least the ones in SC are.. I know an old coot who takes them year round with a.22lr.. Right behind the ear. PS I dont want to start an ethics topic here.. But with proper bullet and shot placement.. It should be a clean kill everytime.. I think a lot of people on here could share some valuable hunting info..
I gut shot this fine 14pt'er on the run with that 30-30. After I chased him down, I put two kill shots in his heart with my HP .40. You can see the tactical leg holster. Made my day!
i intend to use my J for hunting. If i had a carbine i'd darn sure hunt w/it. I'd love to see a spot where folks could post their hunts, some good story-tellin' goes on in those "other" forums, but these could be right here at HPFF & withe the guns of topic in particular. PLUS... we'd have some meaningful places to demonstrate ballistics data... w/o all the numbers & such. :devilsidesmile:
The lounge has been the place to discuss such hunts. I challenge you and everyone else who wants a hunting section to fill the lounge with hunting pics/stories/data, so that we can see a need for a place. If we are shown a need, it will come. But making a forum for just hunting isn't going to happen unless you show us a need for such... so get to posting the hunting topics in the lounge, if there's enough of them, then a need would arise...
The hunting section is something that we have discussed already, but we really wouldn't have the traffic year around to justify it's own section. Since hunting is more of a Fall/Spring seasonal thing, it'd have a hard time keeping it busy. The last thing we want to do is add a section to the forum that doesn't get used and ends up taking up space on the server. However, as the forum grows *we've grown in a MAJOR way since the switch to the new server/software* a hunting section will most likely be added to HPFF. That's off in the not so distant future, so stay tuned for more changes.
I belong to another handgun specific board and they have sections for both hunting and fishing. I guess though if someone wanted to talk about either on this board they could use the lounge.
