So, I now have a .50 cal blackpowder rifle. However, the deer season is "only" about three weeks long (including special extended seasons), and it's in the all-too distant future.
Does anyone hunt small game with a .50? for meat or just varminting?
I've heard that frontiersmen used to hunt squirrel with their regular rifles, often shooting the branch below the squirrel to send shards of lead and wood through it. Is this a practical or effective meathod?
