    Just reading the rules and regulations found this line... 

    • Rimfire and centerfire rifles are not legal to hunt deer.

    Im so confused now, i have a .22 rimfire and the .223 center fire but so I can hunt deer only with shotgun?

    You can hunt deer with bow(recurve, longbow, compound), crossbow, muzzleloader, shotgun ( buckshot and/or slugs).

    I have a school across street, 2 acre back yard, 1000 squirrels! What can I LEGALLY use? 308? NAH. 30-06? NAH. 22 short? Possible. PoPo down street though.

    Bow/crossbow but that's just for dinner.  I think the '450 rule applies for All small game hunting.  Archery for deer is 150'.  

    Got any deer in your backyard? ;)

    I found the sabots in my sidelocks percs and flints not to be so accurate.

     

    I always had luck with a straight up patched round ball

     

    But then again i never shot inlines or whatever new fancy stuff

    I failed to mention the barrel twist rate has a lot to do with which bullet to use.  The older traditional sidelock guns have a slower twist in the barrels.  Some are 1:48" and some 1:60 or 66".  The newer guns and most inlines are 1:35 or even 1:28".  Sabots fly better with a faster twist barrel.  I have 2 traditional bp guns and they shoot round ball and full size maxi hunters bullets good to 50-75 yards. Iron sights so I'm not shooting far. The twist in those is 1:48". 

    When the weather is crappy/wet I bring out the stainless/synthetic T/C Encore and it likes a 240gr bullet in a sabot.  It's barrel twist is 1:28".  Rifle like accuracy. Leupold scope on it.

    Ml season is almost as good as bow...  but you need to buy the permits for ML...AND have a NJ rifle permit...5 bucks as i recall...foe the rifle permit....

     

    You can hunt all Jan..on ML...as i recall...

     

    The compendium had the data... 45 or better...

     

    I hunted with a 54....  45 too light..and 50cal 45 sabots suck 

    Not necessarily.  Every zone is different. I hunt 23 & 19. 23 is tight. No guns in January. Where as 19 is muzzy and shotgun in January. 

    Believe the rifle permit is $10 or 11$ now. And the muzzleloader permits are zone specific. 28$ per permit per zone and another 28$ for a buck tag.  

    As for sabots they don't suck. Once you find the right powder and bullet combo they are deadly.

    I declared war on the ones around my house. I got exactly 4 tomatoes this year! Trapped 10 in 12 days. Took them all to a park. Told them the next time they might not be so lucky cause I know this guy from Texas...

    They left my garden alone for most of the summer but the last 2-3 weeks they ate everything but peppers.  Pretty pissed off about it.  If I didn't have houses behind mine I'd definitely be sniping some of these bastards.
