Kayaker 38 Report post Posted September 12, 2011 pg 79FirearmsIf you are hunting small game in an area where there is an open season for deer, moose, elk, or black bear, you may not possess or use a rifle of greater muzzle energy than 400 foot-pounds or shells loaded with ball or with shot larger than No. 2 shot (or if using non-toxic shot, you may not use steel shot larger than triple BBB steel shot, or bismuth shot that is larger than double BB bismuth shot), unless you possess a valid licence to hunt deer, moose, elk or black bear as the case may be.

eddylives 99 Report post Posted September 12, 2011 Ok so the ballistics tables I see online go from 293 ft/lbs to 360 ft/lbs so its good to go for small game then by the new regulations. Quote Have no fear of perfection.....you will never reach it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eddylives 99 Report post Posted September 13, 2011 Well this is great news.My 22 magnum has only been a pit plinker due to the grey area it was in. Too powerful for small game and too small for any bigger game.I geuss I am going to have to research for ammunition suitable for birds and rabbits now unless someone has any suggestions.
