Who needs an inline muzzleloader?

During the last weekend of muzzleloading here in NY I decided to take my muzzleloader for a sit down in the woods. I picked this gun up last February after it had been sitting on a shelf for 3 years. It is a Euro Arms 1853 Enfield Musketoon in .577 caliber. I compete with this gun in blackpowder only matches and even with the short barrel, it reaches out there. My wife's relative who went with me had bought a top of the line T/C blackpowder rifle. Nice gun, but for me, too pricy and not needed. Well, I went out early on a December morning and after sitting down for a while I kept hearing alot of noise not too far off. So I took a walk and jumped a pair of does. There was alot of thick brush between us and a large hill. Both does started up the hill, one went over the other side, but the other stopped about halfway up and turned to look at me. I put the sights on her, the front sight taking up most of her body, so I lined the top of the front sight with her nose. I placed her at 100 yards plus a few. After the shot, she was gone, but I heard something like a cross between a wheeze and a snort. The brush was so thick it took me more than ten minutes just to crawl through it. When I got there, the doe had dropped where she stood after catching a 475 grain Minie Ball in the neck. The ball cut her windpipe and took out the artery. The doe weighed about 115 pounds.
