Actually, it is not so great a buck considering what I had passed on up to that point. But I misjudged. Not the end of the world but I was not going to settle for less than 15" and ended up with 13" instead.

My hunting partner shot the first buck he saw while I was setting up the tent on the day we arrived. It went 15"!

Oh we did have a ton of fun, but I do like hunting with an original rifle. It is just way more fun somehow. Even a very nice new-made replica can't equal an oldie. And since Sharps are no available in my pay grade, I opted for the Ballard. She did the job and killed two more does while we were at it.
