Hi all. I am a Wisconsin lad transported for the last 15+ years to Texas. My family and I live outside of Austin. My Dad still has the Dairy farm in northern Wisconsin which is where I hunted everything from squirrels to deer with the bow and muzzleloader. I have learned from reading recent posts and articles that I should have already killed myself with the hunting loads I was using in the Italian made Hawken that I was shooting. My family and I are attempting to sell our home and move midway between her folks and mine as both sets are aging. So somewhere outside of Chicago will be my next stomping ground. I have wanted to take advantage of this last Texas hunting season to bag a BP deer and hog. Where I have the opportunity to hunt here requires a likely 125 yd minimum shot for the deer. That is why I am seeking a used Encore. I also will begin making the drive back to the farm to harvest BP deer and want the right rifle for the job. Thank you all for your informative posts.
