Bounty,

Thanks for making my day. Your description of Wisconsin's laws re hunting and handguns makes me glad I need only deal with handgun hunting laws in western states. Generally they're pretty good. Surprisingly even the PRK (Kalifornia) has fairly loose and sensible laws re hunting with handguns.


Brian,

I think we will need to agree to disagree on hunting with handguns. I think you are making it sound harder than it really is. As I previously indicated, hunting requires accurate handguns with sufficient power for the game. Carefully directed training and practice are required to be proficient in shooting the requisite handgun. However, these things are very much achievable by a motivated and diligent shooter.

Hunting is challenging. That is one reason why we enjoy it. Doing it with a handgun magnifies not only the challenge, but also the preparation, skill, and satisfaction entailed in doing it well. It is definitely worthwhile to develop the ability to do it well.
