i actually had the chance to talk to a conservation officer out of district 10 the other night and i asked him the same question, he said there hadnt been any increases in reports of either property damage or injuries from use of hp rifles
Bambi had a fatal collision with my 20 some year old Marlin 30 30.
But all the ole timers on ingo told me there would mass hysteria?

OK, so we should be cleared for HP rifles on public grounds next year, correct?
In fairness, I never saw it, but was told some genius with the indiana deer hunters association wrote a letter to the editor, saying if the HP bill passed, there would be deer killed "from a mile away." Remember, these are the same one`s who foisted the One Buck Rule upon Hoosier hunters in their never ending quest for trophy racks.
I would love to get the .270 included. How did someone go about getting their state rep to draft the bill. Maybe we could get them to add an amendment to in include .270 and well as the other missed calibers.
Why not just copy Wisconsin's rules on rifles?
Rifles• Rifles must have an overall minimum length of 26 inches with a 16 inch minimum barrellength unless the user has a federal license to possess a “short-barreled” rifle.It is illegal to:• hunt deer with any center-fire rifle less than .22 caliber, any rimfire rifle, or air gun.
Problem solved.
