Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting "Long-Range" Iowa Deer Cartridges

One can only thank Iowa’s progressive DNR for making possible such deer cartridges as the 50 Fat Mac, a fifty off the 20mm case, while canceling — making illegal— such civilian dangers as the 32 Special, the 30/30, or the 308, or the 260, or the 243 or, even the 30/06 or the 270, and the 6.5 Creed. What, the Fat Mac too much? Step down to something more reasonable like the 416 Barrett.

Or, conversely, are these reg’s a tactic, as the 35’s and up quickly become large, more fearsome cartridges where most Iowans won’t go; whereas, the 35 and below are typical deer cartridges and are ubiquitous in Iowa.

Ok, Seriously. Did a Wash DC Democrat congressional contingent become IA’s DNR. You just cannot make this up.
