Cannonman, I admire you for NOT backing down on what you understand to be correct.

Very true and I do to, and I'm not even sure what is correct. Hey Cannonman being new don't mean jack, I'ma be the new guy when I start with the team I'm going with so don't sweat it.

Sorry, my bad, missed it when I 1st checked;

great intro, BTW & welcome to the Wolf Pack. Warning! they can be a little frisky at times.

Good luck on your debate as long as you keep it friendly; sounds interesting! I can tell you right now that in Illinois you can't even hunt deer legally with a Centerfire Rifle nor OO Buckshot; slugs only, Black Powder, & Bow hunting is all.

Where the Hill is Illinois anyway....? It is in America....Right.....

And Welcome to the forum Cannonman.......

I must be a glutton for punishment. For some reason I just can't let ignorance prevail.

**klkak** · 11-28-2008, 02:53 AM

Hey Hope, Where'd everyone go? It's only 10 of 10pm.

**Cannonman17** · 11-28-2008, 10:05 AM

Looks like I'm going to be eating a big old bowl of humble pie through the course of the day. I called the 1-888 number and asked, he said nope. No hesitation, nothing, in fact he sounded like I woke him from a sound sleep... I went on to mention the wording of it and was met with uninterested silence... so I said thanks and got a unenthusiastic "yep." So... unless you folks find out otherwise I'm going to have to eat all my words, go back and appologize to everybody and worst of all send out some silver... *sigh* how humiliating! I'm still holding out hope of talking to the game warden though and being redeamed... looks like a long shot at this point but... Either way I will be having an interesting conversation with him when I see him. Now I'm off to go call the main teacher of the hunter's safety class and tell him-

My generator ran out of fuel at about 10:15. no power, no computer.

**Ole WV Coot** · 11-28-2008, 11:10 AM

Time for my "humble" opinion. You CAN kill almost anything with a 22LR or Mag if you hit the right spot and are a better than average hunter. On the legal side I don't know any state that will allow you to hunt deer with a 22. I can just see you being checked by the local game warden and after he stops laughing you will be making little rocks out of big ones for a long time and the 22 will be on a tipboard the same day. Now this ain't a survival situation where anything goes, just a regular season deer hunt.

**Cannonman17** · 11-28-2008, 11:13 AM

No no no... I never would hunt deer with a .22, it's just silly in my opinion. I hunt them with a .308, the whole discussion was about the legality of it.

I remember being deciding when I was a little kid that I didn't like the taste of humble pie and it's been a LONG time since I've been forced to eat some... guess what? I still don't like the taste of it!

**trax** · 11-28-2008, 12:53 PM

well Cannon, I'll still go hunting with ya cuz I wasn't about to bring a .22 anyway, lol.

That was fun catching up on this and watchin y'all kicking sand at each other, no cussing, no insulting, well done gentlemen. (polite applause)

So, big gun, please tell me, where is it written that teachers are always right? I tend to drive many people crazy as I follow a motto that says "Question Everything." However, I'm agreeing with Trax; you all handled that debate like gentlemen...you guys must have caught something!
