sssssssSSSKONKED AGAIN.
Firearms season, and even a special herd reduction hunt, and not an ounce of deer meat to show for it. I’m so pissed.
It’s all my fault, of course, as it always is when you come home empty handed. Witht he funeral last week, other things at home and at work, I’ve not had my head in this as well as i should have, and the results are fairly predictable.
I did have one nice deer in my crosshairs one time, and the (*^)&%)&*%)( muzzleloader misfired. Oh, the wisdom of those morons in indiana who decided we couldn’t use high powered rifles. Sonofabitch. Anyway, there’s one season left, and I hope to luck out there. What a pain. I don’t feel TOO bad, because some hardcore oldtimers went home emptyhanded too.
Og, are you shooting one of those damnable in-line muzzle loaders? Serves ya rigt! If I hear you have been stoking it with Pyro and not authentic black powder I shall lodge a complaint with the gun guy at the Nation of Riflemen. Repent your evil ways: percussion or flint are the way of the rigteous, as is FFg and Hawkens.
:)
The Gods Of The Hunt are testing you Og. Fear not, for it sounds as if you have passed these tests of character with flying colours. I predict that you shall prevail.
Percussion and black powder and hand cast bullets. And it’s accurate as blazes, but yesterday it rained 2 inches while I was in the field. Since I had to cross several safe zones during my hunt I had to keep de-and-re capping the damned thing, and black powder being wehat it is, it absorbed every damned drop of moisture.
Had I been using an inline, I wouldn not have missed the shot. Tradition is fine. Give me function everytime.
What, no atlatl?
Pffft.
(seriously, og, better luck next time)
No high-powered in Ohiya, either.
Stoopid politicians…
