Don't be ridiculous. Sheesh. You don't hunt deer with a LAW!!
For DEER HUNTING, a 12-Pound MOUNTAIN HOWITZER is what you use:
First, load your howitzer with a 148-musket ball load (individual balls should be the size of a shotgun slug).
Second, wait for deer to come along. PROPER DISTANCE IS KEY TO MEAT RECOVERY.
Third, fire the howizter:
And, the lovely results:
WARNING: In order to preserve a useful amount of meat, do NOT shoot deer at a distance of less than 100 yards (or one football field away). This nice 8-point buck was taken at 120 yards.
