I'm thinking traditional stink stick hunters don't get on the web much. Somebody has to have been killing stuff traditionally.

Great videos.  Those are definitely accurate rifles.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

Well it wasn't this year but my son and  I have both taken bull elk with traditional rifles. A 54 cal Lyman trade rifle.  Patched round ball. Mine was a spike and my son had a special tag in the Bethel unit a couple years ago, he killed a 5x5 bull. Called in to 25yds put the ball in the boiler room. Traditional guns have been puttin meat on the table for..well as long as they have been made:)  A friend of mine also killed a 6x5 bull this year with his 54 and a round ball.
