What's the best deer hunting caliber & gun?

[Stumpkiller]

I is reminded of a story of a backwoodsman who came to town for a Sunday and stood outside of the town's finest church. A few parishoners brushed past him and scoffed or giggled at the way he was dressed, some made cracks about his beard and shaggy hair, and he became aware that he wasn't dressed as nice as he might be; certainly not for this congregation. He turned to return to his home, ashamed for his poverty and appearance.

Just then the clouds parted and, in a ray of sunshine, Christ appeared beside him.

He patted the astonished backwoodsman's shoulder and, looking over at the church He said: "Bob, I know just how you feel. I've been trying unsuccessfully to get into that church for years myself."

To the Camp,

It is one shot. Bow, flintlock, cap lock or inline. Each is an improvement over the previous. I have personally checked, and a good shot or a bad shot with any of the 4 gives the same result.

I did chuckle at the "cheatlines" comment, but then I thought if we are not using a rock and spear, we are all cheating.

Let's keep our face to the wind and just go hunting.

Bow hunting now in NH,

Lee

I have T/C Hawken rifles in .50 caliber, flintlock, and .54 caliber percussion. Both are accurate, and reliable shooters. I would not hesitate to hunt with either. Why not call T/C and talk to the service dept., about possibly replacing the breach plug? Even though it is a kit gun, chances are they will replace it for free. T/C is known for excellent service!
