[QUOTE="340Wby-4-everything, post: 2833822, member: 47425"] Yep and the amount of time that bullet is in the air, down range energy, etc. brings up the question of ethics and what is hunting? Both are to each their own and not allowed to be debated here. Most agree with the exception of war/terrorists and the like, our quarry deserves our respect and the quickest, cleanest kill possible and even if you don't, please don't share that opinion with the anti-hunters/anti-gunners as that causes us All problems. All jomo- just one man's opinion and the libtards haven't taken that away yet. I drew a moose tag in CO this yr and plan to hunt with ML (open sights only, no pelletized powder, 50 cal and up, no breech loaders (that ain't a muzzleloader by definition), no sabots, no smokeless powder and nothing electric attached. And there are more regulations and I am frankly surprised they allow fibre optic iron sights and the use of shotgun primers. So 150yds max (200 if you have a good gun and eyes to go with it) seems about right. I completely agree with Chavo_12, if you want to hunt at longer ranges, get a rifle and apply for that tag. The disadvantage, you can't shoot 4-500yds or the much longer stuff I see here and there frequently with a ML, the advantage, you get to hunt them right in the heart of the rut with something that reaches far longer than stick and string.
