much more effective on carpetbaggers and other yankee vermin.
LOL!!! That dude's from WI.... northern red necks I suppose.
I looked much further into that than I wish I had.
I crewed a 20lb Parrot Rifle once. Man that was fun. More fun than any July 4th fireworks I've ever played with. 2lbs of black powder goes boom in a big way....
Quite sporting.
That is just madness. A game warden'll have your azz if you forget to put the magazine plug in your pumpgun, so I can't even imagine what blasting a deer with a Class 3 artillery piece would inspire.
Some great lines:
"It is not necessary to have perfect balls" - Some girls will disagree
"keep in mind, however, that marsh grass may be easily ignited in dry weather and mountain howitzers shoot a lot of flames" - Oh but firing a cannon into the middle of the forest is a marvelous idea.
"You don't want to hit the deer with all 148 musket balls" - as R. Lee Ermey said in Full Metal Jacket "Well... No Sh*t"
"When the quiet of the morning is suddenly shattered with a loud BOOM ... you've done it. You've shot a deer with a Mountain Howitzer" - No, you've just shot off a cannon. After you and your buddies stop laughing and put down your beer, then you can go see if that was a deer or a park ranger you just shot.
"QUICKLY COVER THE MOUNTAIN HOWITZER WITH A CAMOUFLAGED TARP" - So you now have this large camouflaged object in the middle of the woods or better yet, an open field. "Hmm, that looks like a camo covered ATV, let's go steal it." or "Hmm, that looks like a camo covered cannon, let's go shoot it"
"Keep an eye on the area from a distance, making sure there are no nosey hunters that wander over to see what all the noise" - But the park ranger, state trooper, county sheriff, or local cop is not gonna wonder what that massive explosion was.
"After the smoke (and the coast ) has cleared, go back and start trailing your deer. However, if you did everything correctly with your howitzer, the deer will likely be dead on the spot ... and won't need any trailing" - No, your deer will be shredded wheat. Like shooting a squirrel with a .44 Magnum, there's gonna be nothing left but kibble.
"...be ready to explain to him that you got very, very, excited and that you kept shooting your "12 gage shotgun" until the deer finally went down." - Hmm... let's see. 12 gauge goes "Boom! Boom! Boom!". 12 Pound HOWITZER goes "KA-FING-BOOM!!!" The Game Warden's gonna know the difference.
