Where I hunt its to easy to harvest Big Game with a modern rifle. I needed a challenge. Took up B/P traditional rifle at a time when many of my friends wouldn't. Many thought it was a waste of time and money hunting with a antique C & B rifle. For a few years it was well worth the additional expense and burned up vacation time before the inline debuts. I could pack for my trip knowing I was going to experience cold, snow, quiet as a tomb in the woods, seeing calm deer occasionally that were previously nocturnal all Fall.
Yes allot has changed since those days and so have my hunting tactics also.
