Draco for deer hunting?

[Oliver08]

This last season, I was out hunting early. at about noon I went to the house and a friend had come over to show off his prize and for me to take pics. He sat behind it like in all the others you see and then set his "deer gun" on it. It was a AK-47 pistol. After telling me it was a legal gun under the rules I had to go check for myself, and from what I read it is. Any opinons on this? He had a sope on it and said he was good to 200 yards with a rest. Thanks all.

Is this the pic you took? (Disregard the dog having his way with your buddy's trophy).

? This is clearly not a Draco.


AFAIK, the Draco is a "pistol" and thus legal to hunt with.

No kidding? My post may have been totally lost on you.

To the OP... I've been told that the 7.62x39 is NOT legal to hunt deer with in Indiana. I don't hunt, so [strike]I may be [/strike] probably wrong, but I think it has to do with the length of the "brass" when used in a Draco, and that it's not a straight walled cartridge if used in a rifle. At ant rate, the "logic" behind this baffles me... I've probably got it wrong, or at least for the wrong "reasons."

It is perfectly legal to hunt deer with the 7.62x39 cartridge out of a HANDGUN.

If you want to use a rifle, stick with squirrels.

Rifle , scope , ammo ...... $1,900

Getting up at O'dark thirty ,freezing,
covering yourself in deer **** ...... Annoying

Opening this thread just to see that pic ..... Priceless

I get a good belly laugh everytime I see it myself. It was a "coke spew" the first time.

So the draco IS legal to hunt deer with?

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Provided that the Draco is still in Pistol configuration and is chambered in something that's .243 caliber or higher, yes.

(There are a precious handful of .223 Draco pistols around...those are NOT legal for IN Deer hunting because the diameter of the projectile is too small)

I think I may get a draco now... What kind of range can you get out of them if you have a steady hand?

I realize it was a joke, but negative rep for me? That's a bit excessive.

At least I bothered to answer his question.
