![]() Well xmas was coming and my mom asked us what we wanted this year ,all we could say was ml.Well mom being our only parent,our dad pased in 74 he was only 33 died from liver damage from drinking to much from a very eary age. All he could do was stand there and tell us about the hunt and smoke more nails in his lungs,this would be his last hunt. Early that winter1982 dec3 the friend killed the big buck and didn't have a camera so he came over to see if we had one he could use.My little brother and i looked that buck over for ever and went home with him and cleaned it for him. The first deer i killed with a ml was in 1984,i bought a 45 cal cvapercussion long rifle 1 in 66 twist,in kit form.What got the ml hunting in our heads to start with was to see a massive 11 point buck killed in my area with a tc hawken that was bought in kit form years beforeby one of my older friends. Test shoot them all.i have a 50cal tc flint hawken with a 1:48.no matter what conicals i shot i cant get them to group or shoot accurately.no matter what i try.roundballs i can shoot clover leafs all day long.i couldnt convince myself that a round ball would make a big enough hole to hunt with and dont wanna loose deer.so i always wanted to shoot a conical.every year i tried diffrent ones.id get them OK for hunting.close range less then 50yds.but my gun just loooooves roundballs.actually killed 2 groundhogs with my roundballs.one at 10yds or so standing freehand he popped up in a field and took a RB to the neck.another one was feeding at 45yds away.aimed to shoot him through the vitals like a deer.smoke cleared and he was laying there.hole right where i put it.pretty decint shotso roundballs it is from here on out.going shooting friday or saturday! cant wait!.just bought a new box of im good to go on powder! if i take my buck early im hunting with the flintlock the rest of the season during rifle.if not i got ALL of xmas break OFF.good luck ![]()
