from centerfire cartridges to PRB in my Traditional ML rifles for my deer and turkey hunting! If I survive this prostate cancer I'm taking radiation treatments for, 44 in total and 12 more to go....this coming season will be my 68th deer hunting season! I have taken lots of bucks over the years....sometimes hunting 5 different states...whitetail and muledeer but mostly whitetails! All have been with centerfire cartridges and I've come to the conclusion that it's just too dang easy. Late in the twilight of my life I've decided that the Hawken style flintlock that I have along with my two Caplocks will be what I shall hunt with from here on out! They shoot really well and having to limit the range I'll be able to employ will make the game a lot more interesting! I've given most of my centerfire rifles to my grandkids and a few friends worthy of reception thereof! I can no longer sit at the reloading bench like I've done since 1948 because of two herniated disc in my lower back and that's not really necessary when I can load out of a shooting pouch and powder horn! I've got a new Leman Caplock rifle I got a short time back and it really has a beautiful piece of wood! Been bumping 102F here last few days so haven't gotten to shoot it much to date! Such are the joys of living in North Louisiana this time of year!
