A good hunting gun.?

I need a good hunting gun that dosent kick.
I live in Ohio, so I cant hunt with a 22 caliber.
I just hunt the usual, deer, turkey, rabbit, squirrel.
Dont ask questions, just answer my question, PLEASE.
Its not that im afraid of the kick, or it hurts me.I think it messes up my aim.

:::example::: I shot my 2 4-10s and hit the outside of the target once and missed the target once.I shot a .22 cal. and hit a bulls eye.

1. Get a BB gun if you don't want a kick. Any rifle large enough to take a deer has a kick. The .243 may have less, but your state may require higher than .22 center fire calibers or may not allow any centerfire. A shotgun and shot large enough for turkey will kick. There is also, the bow.

2. Well a good all around hunting rifle without bad recoil is the .243 caliber. It's very fast and extremely accurate. The deer in Ohio are bigger than they are here in Texas but as long as you get a good kill shot the 243 will bring a deer down. A 22 is good for small game like rabbit and squrrel, but I don't know about using the 243 for game that small.

3. If you feel it necessary to ask a question so broad on yahoo answers, you probably shouldn't be hunting. Maybe take a class on hunter's ed first. And if you don't like the kick of a rifle, there are other hobbies that may be more to your liking, such as cross stitch or crochet.

4. There is no such animal. Any weapon on the approved list for hunting deer will have recoil. If you are recoil sensitive, let someone else do the hunting, and pay them for the game they bagged.

5. A .270 is enough for deer if you can place your shot well. The recoil is much less than the larger calibers, that is compared to the magnum calibers (7mm and .300 s). If you are really concerned about the recoil have a muzzle break installed. It can reduce the recoil by up to 50 percent. It will make the gun substantially louder. I shoot a .300 weatherby ultralight with a muzzle break it's really loud but the reduced recoil improves accuracy. The animals I shoot are usually lying on their last set of tracks.

6. Momo's right if you can't handle the recoil of hunting with a rifle then either use a bow or quit hunting. There are no recoil-less high powered or black powder rifles. Hey I didn't ask any questions and I told it to you straight so, gimme best answer!!!!

I think that I will invent one since, I really have been getting this itch to become a multi-billionaire.

7. the 22 mag would do for every thing but the deer,the 243 would make a good deer rifle but it would be a bit much for the smaller game unless you reloaded your self and came up with some reduced loads for the smaller game.i know i m gonna draw heat for saying this,but if i was going to use just one gun for all it would be the 32-20 marlin CL,hot loads for deer with neck shots at under 50 yards and factory ammo for the small game,but i wouldn't suggest this to a new hunter

8. 7 mm 08. this is what i have and i'm a 18 yr old female. so this would be a good gun to hunt deer with. as for the 22 i hope you are not going to try to hunt a deer with a 22 b/c unless you shoot it in the neck or head your not gonna kill it. and it would also be good to have a 9mm pistol. i also have one and it's does not kick what so ever!!

9. The best choice for your intended purpose is a 20 gauge shotgun.* You can use rifled slugs in it for Deer, and shot shells for small game.* Remington, Ithaca or Mossberg Brands are good ones to buy.* Buy used and save even more $$$.*

10. i wold get a .410 for the small game but i like my 12 gauge shotgun for the deer. if your afraid of the kick than you can get a shooting jacket that has padding, or put a folded winter hat between the stock and you. its not that bad.

11. rabbit and squirrel, you are fine with a 22

deer, you should get a 30-30, that will have very little recoil, othewise a bolt action in 243.

For turkey, grouse, and other birds, get at 20 guage shotgun

12. A little pushy with your question, methinks. From a previous post I see you are only 11 years old (too young to use this site, btw). When you get a little older you won't be bothered by the kick of a shotgun, or a good lever-action 30-30 deer rifle.

13. In Ohio, you'll want a 12-bore shotgun with a stock that fits well to limit the felt recoil. For deer out of state, look at rifles chambered in 6.5x55 Swede, 260 Remington, 7x57 Mauser, or 7mm08 for plenty of power in a mild package. Again, if you're especially recoil-sensitive, it's important that you have your shotgun fitted, and that may mean a custom stock.

14. A bolt action in 7.62x39 would fit the bill for all you listed, I always felt the .223 was too light for deer, but some people use them. Anything over a .22 magnum is over kill and wasting meat for squirrels and most rabbits. Turkey can't legally be harvested with a center fire rifle in most states. You could always get into a TC "encore" single shot, and buy barrels in different calibers for your different needs. I have one. I bought in in .270 Winchester (of course) and then bought a barrel in .223, .308, and will be buying one in 7mm Mauser for my daughter to use.
