Turning back the pages of time today....

Great day for an early spring buffalo hunt.

Packed the shooting bag with .50 cal .495 lead balls & homemade .010 lubed patches. Filled the powder horn with Triple 7 2f powder. Grab my Frontier long rifle and we head out into the hills.

Didn't take long to reach the herd....

Way cool post! Was it difficult to get that close without them charging you.

They did charge me and I was killed.

You shoot great for a dead guy, or even a live guy.

Did it make a nice ring when hit?

Unfortunately I just stuck it on there for the pic. That's one of my wife's favorite yard critters....it would be fun to shoot though....
