Main thing I've learned on here is you people in the North don't shoot big enough guns.
Here's the southern guidelines
A .243 should never be used on anything larger than a wounded field mouse
A .270 is appropriate to shoot coyotes with ONLY if its a WSM and mange has thinned the coyotes hair for easier bullet penetration
A 30 caliber cartridge is adequate to shoot a whitetail deer ONLY if it is of the Ultra Mag variation.
Anything larger than a whitetail deer requires a caliber that starts with a 4
If it flys and is bigger than a dove you better shoot a 12ga.
with 3 1/2's in it.
A fixed 6x is only good for shooting in the middle of a blue-bird day. Any other time than 10am - 2pm a 50mm objective scope on the end of a 30mm tube must be used. Preferably on 20x.
