Percussion New Englander does it once more.

[Stumpkiller]

I dug out my old .50 T/C New Englander and put a nice doe on the meat pole. Handy little carbine for lazy old farts like me who hunt from ladder stands.

Apologies for the Rogers Rangers bands . . . but the temporary sling falls off and I need those to make sure it is solid on the lift rope. 80 yards.

I'll pressure can all but the backstraps and tenderloins.

Congratulations.
Good to see a post from you, there aren't enough of them.
Could you please share your pressure canning recipe and method for venison in the cooking section? It would be greatly appreciated.

Excellent! Canned rounds are my favorite way to eat venison. It travels well. I especially like that.

OMG. Did I read that right that you are 80 feet in the air?

Well done! What load did you use in that short barreled beauty?

A 50 caliber New Englander was my first BP rifle. I bought it at K-Mart in Rome NY in 92 I believe? On layaway (I was a little on the poor side then). Still have her, and she still shoots good.

Great job! I have the same exact rifle that my dad gave me after 35 years of non-use. Great little rifle, as you said.

Congrats, Stumpkiller! Good to see you're still out there.
