I eat the heart. Its my favorite part of the deer personally. But I know tons of people who hunt and never eat it. I get many deer hearts to say the least. Does anyone out there know if its really that bad for you? I know the liver isn't the greatest but how about the heart? I cook it of course. lol. With some sautéed mushrooms and onions. Thanks guys.

Hi there from the UK. I've asked numerous questions here as a beginner and you've all been most helpful but I'm still a little confused. Basically I want to get in to small bore rifle shooting and the main calibres seem to be .22 and .17, and all the variants (Hornet, HMR, WMR, LR etc).

Which calibre would be best suited to indoor, 25-yard target shooting?

Also a local farmer has said if I get a licence he'll give me written permission to hunt pests on his land, including rabbits (which he says I could eat), rodents and foxes. Is there a calibre I could use for this that I could also use on the 25-yard range near me, which is limited to (I believe any variant of) .22 calibre?

Also which rifle would you recommend for me? I'm not sure if semi-autos are allowed on the range so please reference a bolt action as well as a semi-auto/

I know there's a lot here, but thanks all the same!

Would a .338 caliber be overkill.

I dont know this is true but i have read as an answer on here that it is bad to use rifled slugs in a fully rifled barrel. the guy said "read your instruction manual it will say "NOT TO USE REGULAR SLUGS IN A RIFLED BARREL" a slug will defect the rifled grooves in the barrel and sooner or later you will need to replace you barrel." is this true? i only use sabboted slugs in my fully rifled barrel but i would just like to know. thank you.

am told that you cant take down nothing bigger then a rabbit with this .22 calber some people even argue that a 22 wont travel more then a block ...

Me and my family have been hunting with a 22 for years i my self killed a 90 pound pig shot to the timple .

I know two family members that died from a 22 round one was shot in the head the onther one in the chest both were over 160 pounds

am i wrong? i thing a well placed round in the right place will take down a larger animal
