Big Deer Hunts
Rifle for deer hunting in FL?
I am a beginning hunter and I want to purchase a rifle for big game hunting. What caliber is recommended as a good all around caliber for big game like deer? Also, I would like to not have to track a deer. Is it ethical to shoot deer in the head? I'll be hunting public land. Please give me some rifle recommendations. I'm looking for something accurate with a range up to 250-300 yards around the 800 dollar price range. Yeah I will prolly take it out to the range and practice here in Tallahassee. I got 2 shotguns for duck, dove, and turkey hunting but I wanna get into deer hunting too. Thanks all.
By your own admission you are a beginner. So welcome to the hunting community. It's refreshing to see you asking for advice before heading afeild.That said I feel you need alot more experience and knowledge before you pursue this sport. There are many fine choices in the price range you are looking at. But with over 30 years pursuing wild game I can not stress enough the unrealistic goals you state. Shots taken at the distances you discsribe are extreme even for the most experienced hunters I know who have untold years afeild.I suggest you find freinds who are knowledgeable in this feild and tag along with them to the range as often as you can. Shoot as many differant rifles your freinds will allow to find one that feels right in your hands and recoil you can manage first.Then break out your biology books and learn where you need to place your shots to dispatch game quickly and humainly. More inportant then the trying to select the perfect all around deer rifle, which can be debated to the end of time,is to be able to place a round of any rifle consistantly where it belongs. So before you drop 800 dollars on something you may regret later take another season off and do some serious homework. We are always looking to promote our sport, but we owe it to the sport, as well as the game we pursue to be responsible and ethical. Killing is just one phase of the hunting experience. I personally will spent my days with true deer hunters over a killer who shoots only to raise their percieved status as a hunter. If you can make that distinction then you are on the right track in my opinion. Good luck.
