I'd hafta check the rule book. But I'm pretty near certain that when the deer start shooting at ya...it's kinda ok if you nail 'em w/o a permit.
Question is, "how do ya know there shootin' at ya!? Is it a hiss or a zing?".
I'm not sure; never had the pleasure ... yet. I was regular Navy.
Good way to learn what it sounds like it to sit in a target pit and mark targets as shots are made from 600 yard line. The only other way to learn is something you won't enjoy at all.......trust me :o)
Stay Safe !...........good hunting !
