Oh well if your number is up it is indeed up I’d rather go quickly and without fuss than being run over by a bus.

Six years ago, when chronic wasting disease was discovered in deer near Mount Horeb, the state Department of Natural Resources allowed deer hunters to use rifles in some counties to kill more deer and eradicate the disease from the herd. That included western Dane County.

I know it's off topic, but has Wisconsin banned deer bating? Michigan found one case of wasting disease and banned baiting for the season. It's going to cost farmers and small, rural businessmen a LOT of money and could wind up hurting hunting revenues as well.

“they come from the city”

Is that a polite way of saying “Illinois”?

I think this genius is confusing trajectory with range and terminal velocity. Just another example of someone with no knowledge of firearms making rules for use of firearms.
It’s like an atheist telling people where they can go to church.

“The range of a shotgun slug is about 200 yards, compared with up to three miles for a rifle bullet.”

The range of a shotgun slug is more like 800-900 yds.
