Agree with Tigrr, squirrels are the most agressive horn eaters. I hang moose horn in trees on trap line and watch them chew it up.

The larger .22lr magazines were only made unlawful for the Ruger 10/22 due to the existence of the Ruger 10/22 Charger pistol which then changed everything. Savage, Remington and any other .22lr semi-auto’s remain unaffected.

The GSG-16 for instance comes with 22 round magazines and factory 110 round drums are available.

I’ve had some antlers damaged in my yard when I dug a hole and buried the skull in wood chips and threw in some starter beetles I collected from my yard. Some rodent had been chewing on them.

The 10/22 25 & 50 rnd clips are illegal? I bought mines from Cabelas... I don't own a 10/22 anymore because, well, its a 10/22... but I sold it to a friend and it would be great to let him know if they had been outlawed.
