[QUOTE="Michael Courtney, post: 983994, member: 28191"] It depends on the state and the circumstances. When we killed dozens of deer each year on damage control permits in an overpopulated area, we could use anything we wanted. With good placement, you do not need tons of energy to kill deer. The fellows who played the role of sharpshooters at a nearby park were also allowed to use whatever they wanted. I co-authored a paper last year with Joe Caudell of the USDA on terminal effectiveness of sub-sonic loads in deer. The USDA is keenly interested in sub-sonic loads because a lot of deer and hog culling has to be done close to populated areas and they are trying to reduce the disturbances. I guess at some point they need to decide if they'd rather the disturbance of a suppressed super sonic crack or deer that reach suburban back yards if they run 100 yards or more from where they are hit.
