My father has an SKS but I'm from illinois where you can't use a rifle to hunt deer. I could see using an SKS for coyote hunting but not much anything else. But let it be known I'm not a hunter at all.
Unless it's a muzzle loader.
Well damnit, try it. Find a friend that does and go; you will enjoy yourself. I'm heading out next Fri.; it is still so warm down here. Still fighting mosquitoes, no ducks yet, but I'm headed to the woods next Fri. AM.
