Neither is throwing out an old mattress spring and corn. But with that said in Wisconsin you can use a bow to hunt , because once again it has that fair chase component. I do like the idea of using a handgun, that would be fair chase. ....................O.K. definitely in on the handgun, 327 Federal would do the trick.
Then why is doing the same thing to a deer, a much larger target, considered a hunt and not sniping.

Of course the rules don't make sense. They are made by politicians.
