I think that anyone who wants to shoot a buck with his ML, or use one of them "in-line contraptions" needs to do it in the regular gun season. There are plenty of places in this state where you can only see a deer at ranges under 100 yards, and since you are not likely to get more than one shot at any critter anyway under such hunting conditions, you really aren't under much of a handicap to use a frontstuffer. Just sets you apart from those less-skilled hunters that have to use them there new-fangled breechloaders!!
