You should come down here and give some pointers to the poachers that infest
my immediate area.  I heard some idiot fire at least seven shots within a one
minute time frame.  IMO one should be able to kill a deer with one, at most two
shots.  About two weeks ago I watched some out-of-area poacher kill a deer -
he had her trapped in a harvested cornfield with no cover and was using a
high-powered
rifle rather than a shotgun (in the shotgun season).  After he killed her, he cut off
her head and left the rest in a ditch.
