Congradulations on a that beautiful buck! I really enjoyed the pics too! I am already thinking about next season! So,....this seems to answer my concerns about the 45 cal I just got into the ML over Christmas with a gift from my dad of a 45 cal T\C Hawkens from his collection. I wasn't sure if the prb would be ok on our big Upper Peninsula bucks! Guess this is proof I shouldn't worry about that so long as the shot is in reasonable range and I practice through the year. I have been hunting hunting with the longbow and wool traditional clothing/equipment for over 30 years..this looks like the same principles will be used in the black powder passion! I like that...anything that requires skill, (equipment, shooting, and hunting prowess) is my cup of tea!
