Taking my Backpowder powered 50-90 Sharps to Africa and smacking a giant Cape Eland and a big old blue/black Sable bull with 750 gr bullets I cast myself put a damn good cap on a fine year in the game woods, fields and thickets. smile


TTT so maybe Dirtfarmer can post a couple pics of two really big "Deer"grin I got with my 50-90 Sharps.


Trump Won!
