The better we get with buck often takes us to a place we don’t need to be….at least with a shotgun.

I agree.

I've missed a few with the Tri-ball that I shouldn't have and I've missed a few with a rifle that I shouldn't have. Then again, I've certainly missed a few with buckshot that I shouldn't have. Anybody who says they haven't missed many running dogs hasn't shot at many. The main thing for everyone is to find a gun and load they have confidence in, whatever that may be. The older I've gotten, the better I've gotten about killing deer. Probably has more to do with being able to hold it together better than anything.


May the sound of hounds never die!
