I've had a disturbing experience with this issue. While big game hunting I asked a DOW officer in the field what the magazine capacity was if I was going to be hunting small game and he couldn't answer! I found an area that had several coyotes, and was planning to come back with my 223 to potentially just sit on the coyotes. Obviously, big game hunting has a magazine limitation, which would apply if you are hunting both big/small game at same time, however you are not allowed to hunt big game with 223. So, he couldn't understand why I would want to be in the field with a 223 during big game hunting. I was a little mifted, cause this guy has the power to confiscate all my stuff if I'm not following the rules, yet he didn't understand them. I even had a copy of the big/small game regulations with me and pointed out that there was no limitation in the book for small game hunting. I just decided to play safe and use my hunting rifle instead of the 223 to eliminate any possiblility of confusion/issues.
