here in Tennessee at least, that's right put them away.
Time to pick up the smokepoles, season starts tomorrow.
I haven't decided which is going yet
the .50 cal. Hawkins or the. 54 cal. Renegade
One thing is for sure, the 1858 44 will be tagging along.
Of these 3 only it has laid meat on the ground.
Hopefully all the rain gets out of here today and we won't have to deal with it.

Thanks guys.
I like the sound of that Al.
Hay Happy, not sure where you reside, but that's odd.
As to using the Jimmy, I got one with the Silverado a couple months back.

Southern South Carolina.....I've killed some nice bks with my previous Chevy trucks...........Don't want to that with my new Jimmy......Both bucks killed so far were in a stand behind my house with my 444 Marlin.........Being retired I hunt 5-6 times a week.......My prorerty and close property I lease.....I don't shoot does or small bucks.......I dilligently seek out the bigger ones.

Well, I've gotten out a few times with each, but haven't pulled a trigger yet.
Saw a nice one Sun. afternoon, but too far away and following a doe steadily the opposite direction.
Mon. afternoon I had a decent 6 come by and I let him walk, he was 43 yds. at one time.
He'll be nice next year if he makes it through the season.
