I just wish they would allow handgun usage - even just 22lr for humane hunting kills. Had this happen over the weekend, fox I shot didn't quite keel over from my first shot and had to put another 243 round in him to put him down... .22 cal pistol would be perfect for that sort of thing.

Hey Youngbuck, why you would do it is because it is hunting, and it takes a hell of a lot more hunting skills to hunt successfully with a handgun. I used to hunt pigs with a knife, no guns, no dogs, just a knife. It took finely honed hunting skill to stalk close enough to make a charge, grab your prey, and kill it quickly. Many people like this type of hunting. Cheers.
