In my opinion nothing wrong at all doing what these firearms were intended for!  Big difference in using and in abusing as well.  Outstanding!

You don’t see too many deer taken with a 40-72. I tried to pry a nice high condition flat side 40-72 out of the hands of a collector some 10 years ago, but he insisted on not parting with it. Odd.
