[QUOTE="Wizard of Oz, post: 1267402, member: 99570"] Thanks for your concerns, in N.S.W. there is no minimum caliber for deer, (should be maybe but there isn't ) my gun licence is not a hunting licence as I am a land holder and I am shooting feral animals for feral animal control for myself and several other local landholders. In the State of Victoria the minimum cal for deer is .270, the entire reason for my original posting was my concern for the welfare of the deer when using a .223. I know it's probably a little under gunned for larger quarry. Some groups recommend a minimum of .243 for smaller species of deer, other larger calibers like .308, or like my friend in Victoria 30/06 for Sambar, It's nice to know younger shooters like yourself take your responsibilities seriously, shooters need to set a high bar otherwise the anti-gun lobby will exploit any shortcomings or failures. [url=http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/hunting/rules-and-regulations]Rules and regulations[/url] [B]Deer hunting regulations[/B] When hunting deer, hunters must not use: [LIST] [*]spotlights, artificial lights (including infrared devices) or electronic devices that enhance vision or hearing [*]sights that project a beam or recorded sounds [*]baits, lures, decoys or live animals (except deer callers and planted crops) [*]an aircraft, watercraft or motor vehicle. [/LIST] Other special conditions on deer hunting include: [LIST] [*]deer may only be hunted during daylight hours (from half an hour before sunrise up to half an hour after sunset) [*]dogs may only be used to locate, point or flush deer and must not chase the deer. Scent trailing hounds are not permitted to be used in NSW [*]a person hunting alone may use one dog to hunt deer or a group may use up to two dogs to hunt deer. [/LIST] Cheers [/QUOTE]
