ive shot 2 with my TC 50 cal hawken flinter. one was one 10-15yds. a buddy and i was walking through the field to our spot when one stood up 10-15yds away. cracked the hammer back..set the trigger and WHAMMM right though the neck. it was standing facing me. my buddy about died..standing freehand with a flinter. the next one, my first was sitting with the same buddy. im sitting with my flinter on my shooting sticks and one pops up. my buddy says "go ahead ill back you up with the 7mm" BOOM smoke clears..i was like what the heck why didnt you shoot?? hes like its dead!!!! i about died i didnt REALLY expect to kill it. 45yds away broadside..shot it just like a deer through the lungs right where i was aimin. both were killed with 90grs of goex and patch and ball. havent had time to get back out there with it. hard to find fields less than 100yds. the field i killed the 45yd one in is a GOOD field with solid 50yd shootin all the time. stupid me whiped them out with the 3006 before i thought about taking the flinter. the farmer wanted them out of that field though because he was letting cows into it. hopefully more moved in by now..been a couple seasons since i did good over there. i killed about 15 in that little field though..
