I think you stayed up too late, again ...
Most people ain't like us ... even more, ain't like you ... I'd guess 98% of all deer hunters simply want something off the rack (
if not what Grandpa handed down) ... shells, too!
So long as guys like us don't "wave it in their faces", I'd guess the DNR couldn't care less if 2% have figured something else out.
Hell, look at what they did to the pistol regs! ... "
.22+ centerfire?!" ... a guy could use a .25 Jennings ... but he won't.
My whole argument is, whaddya pay fer a box of only FIVE sabots?! ... $10 ... $15?! ... and if it's the typical Remington 1100, the gun's $600+ ... fer the same money, a guy could have a .44 Marlin, and shoot it all year 'round ... fer nearly 1/10th the cost in ammo! Even if ya could get rifled slugs to shoot half as well, they'd still cost at least a $1/shell!
Hell! ... call it a "
stimulus package!"
