Now we have not seen the sun in almost two weeks other then for a few minutes here and there. And rain! Rain in January, in Northern Wisconsin? Come on!
That really kinda mirrors the weather pattern out here. We are in the mid 30's all week here and loosing our snow pack.
Now for Sabotloader. Is that .45 caliber muzzle loader legal for say elk and deer in Idaho? During muzzle loader season? That sure is a good shooting gun. I would say with the kind of hot peppers you load under that bullet it would sure get the job done.
The 45 would not be legal during ML season out here but is OK during deer season shooting a full bore lead conical.
I was watching a show today about Colorado Elk Hunting. It was muzzle loader season. And a fellow was up in a tree with an open sighted, what looked like a T/C Omega. And in come a big bull. The guide told him it was a shooter, and as the bull turned he cut loose. One shot and down it went. Lots of high fives, etc. They got up to the bull (it was a monster) and the guide says, you shot it in the neck! Is that were you were aiming? The the shooter said .... Ohmm, no. I was aiming behind the shoulder. 35 yards away. Do you think he had elk fever? It was a heck of a bull!
I hate to say this but I few decades ago I could really relate to this happening...
