If your a really good hunter.....
If you hunt really good and always do heart shots, and rifle all you use. try trying a muzzle loader (muzzle loader "hunting term-Muzzy" is a very accurate weapon, with a sleek design,it has in old fashion flair to it. You have to put in the gunpowder and other stuff) there very fun and its a good experience.

While I hunt with several weapon types these days, I started out with a smokepole, and it's still my favorite tool. Mine is an inline, but I normally use it with a patched roundball since it's rate of twist allows it. The last deer I hit with it didn't make it past 40 yards.

I have never shot a smokepole before but would love to try and take a deer with one. That, and a pistol are my next two quests to try and accomplish.

I bow hunt and then black powder hunt for the rest of our season. Shotgun only comes out to play for doves, skeet, and here recently spring gobbler.
Have 3 BP guns, have an old inline .50 that uses no. 11 caps (my first gun I ever bought myself.) Also have an older .45 cal inline taking 209 caps. I have taken many deer with both. The newest gun to the collection is my Hawkens .50 cal. Bought the do-it-yourself kit early last year when hours were cut back at work so I would have something to keep me busy on days off. I have right at 40hrs of time into this gun. Had to give it character and my personal touch. Made contact with a young buck 2nd day into to the woods last season, heart shot at 25 yards. I have a good amount of time making this gun and dialing it in. I call it "The Beauty and the Beast" ;) |

Is it even legal to hunt deer with a pistol?
The best thing is. All the places seem to be all built up and has houses on top of each other in the places you can use rifle and pistol. :confused0024: I live out in the sticks, way out in the sticks (takes 45 minutes to get a cop to you) can't use a rifle or pistol. |

Ive owned a half dozen MLs, but after I bought my savage 10ml smokless, I never looked back. its a little more complicated than a regular ML ,but the 1st time I hunted w/ it, it rained really bad while I was on stand. as I was walking back to the truck, i could see the rain water pouring out of the breech. that night I went to discharge the load, but i was sure it would not go off, since I figure there was no way moisture didnt get into the breech. when it went bang! as soon as I pulled the trigger, I was amazed! this gun is also very accurate and powerful(250grxtp/2300fps) w/ less kick than other MLs ive owned. theres also no smoke cloud when I pull the trigger, and I only have to clean it once a year!
