    54 cal for elk

    I agree totally with Paul! :thumbsup: I started ML hunting here in Germany 4 years ago and had to learn much and I'm still learning. I found the the favorite bullet is a lead PRB propelled by real bp. Here in Germany many modern hunters still can't believe in the effect of this combo. But it...

    Another for the freezer

    Considering with roedeer the expirience is that button bucks never become good bucks with nice antlers. They will always stay underdeveloped. The other thing is with spikes. They can be a real good 6 pointer in the following season. I see that these whitetails have many similarities in biology...

    Hi Jethro! Waidmanns Heil from Germany to another button buck. :thumbsup: Don't worry, the game is the trophy and here in Germany we say that killing button bucks help the rest of the buck herd to grow well. Normally a button buck never gets a real good buck anymore. Regards :hatsoff...

    GPR in a 45cal?

    The shown rifle is not a GPR, but a Investarm Hawken or Cabelas Hawken. The .45 GPR is in all parts similar to the .50 and .54. So no patchbox and no brass furniture! Price here is about € 350. Regards Kirrmeister

    Just for interest: Here over the pond in Germany ML are considered firearms, but all singleshot ML which are original or are reproduced from originals before 1871 (the term is handled very liberal by german authorities) are free to get, built, ship for persons of 18 or older. That means the...

When game stands broadside then I shoot always at the blade/boilerroom. Only when I have the deer from behind I would try a neckshoot. Furthermore the...
