Great minds think alike. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I ran across a web sit that advocates a .22lr handgun, even for deer and other large game. I just have a hard time with that. It takes one hell of a shot to kill a deer with a .22. I now that is all the Eskimo's used to use. I also know that a 30-06 is a little big for a rabbit, but I would rather try a head shot on a rabbit than on a bear charging. Just my personal .02.
