I'm trying to figure out why he didn't make friends with one of those home owners and shoot one from their back porch. Either that or wait till evening when they come in to feed with the cows.
Col Travis likes to do it the hard way. You know, givem a freakin chance in this age of long range hihg powered telescopic gun rifle scope sights.
Some hunters of his skill prefer actions designed to limit their kill rather than being game hogs like Shrapnel who shoot for shooting their limit and using equipment appropriately designed for doing so.
Col Travis could have taken advantage of guns offered by Shrapnel but he took the road less traveled in order to give the game a sporting chance.
Rarely can any other hunter say he takes such a road less traveled.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
