New to this board, seems like I have lots of reading to do. Just a note on two recent topics I've read. 32 vs 36 by Don...
I think the 36 is more versitle, but I have a DGW Tenn. Mtn. Rifle in .32cal. I bought it strictly for squirels and groundhogs, and it's been a faboulous gun for those purposes. I have no problem with supplies or fouling as some had mentioned in their replies.
There also seems to be the unavoidable inline/sidelock debate in another post. Here in Md, I can use anything that's .40cal or larger. That's the only restriction. I use two guns for deer: T/C Hawken with patched round ball when I'm hunting in close cover, and a Rem 700MLS when I'm hunting a field with potential for a long shot. The T/C has iron sights set at 50yds, while the Remington wears a Nikon scope good to 200yds. I also use my muzzleloaders during all firearms seasons. Shotguns are for birds to my way of thinking.
