I use to hunt fall turkey and I used a bolt action .223 with my handloads using a solid point non-expanding bullet. (Yes...they were legal for fall birds). Very successful in that the bullet did a quick kill with no meat damage.I hear you on the "I didn't get a deer" rant, but those are less and less. We are in a prime hunting time period for big rack whitetails. Back in the '70's a small "basket rack" 8pt was considered a trophy. Today, I pass on those.But the topic is the Game Commission allowing high power rifles in the post Christmas flintlock season. The Commission controls deer harvest using two methods. One being season time frame and the other the number of doe tags they issue. Issue more tags.....harvest is up. Allow more time....harvest is up.IMHO if the Commission want's more doe killed in given areas then extend the primitive season to the end of January in those areas.
