Beautiful shot. Gotta love boom/flops. Congratulation. Nice pictures. As for what to do till next season, go for a pig hunt in the south. Buy another gun, scope--say a Savage 10ML2 or a whatever and get it dialed in. Take up fishing, which is boring to me. Go with your wife shopping, if you have nothing else to do. Hang out on ML Forum on Hunting net and try to get more posts than Cayugad! Help the widows and orphans in their distress, since it is "pure religion". Get a job teaching at night at a community college on a subject that you know very little about. Teach english as a 2nd language.
Teach Intro To Muzzloading Rifles 101 at your local Sportsman's club or the local boy scout troop.
(you must buy new latop, new laptop projector, new SW for recording, become expert in Power Point, new digital camera to take high pixel photos)
Put up a Microsoft Live Communications Server, or buy an Account on GoToMyMeeting ($49/mo) and offer "Introduction to MLing" to Boy Scouts and Hunting Net members via collaborationweekly for 15weeks, 1 hour per night. Record the Sessions and publish them on a Web Site, so new MLer foks can view the content. Suggested outline for Introduction to MLing 101:

1. ML basics, types of rifles, types of primers, types of bullets, types of powder, yata
2. Loading and cleaning, ignition
3. Bullet Selection, expansion, intro to ballistics, chrono, MPBR, yata
4. ML hunting tatics--stand hunting, still hunting, spot and stalk, tree stand hunting, ....
5. Tree Stand placement and making tree stands
6. Modern inline MLers
7. Percussion rifles
8. FL rifles
9. ....your choice here
10. Hunting safety
11. Cleaning and gutting a deer
12. how to butcher a deer or elk
13. How to plan and organize a week long hunt
14. how to save money for your favorite rifle when your raising xxxx kids
15. How to stay married to the same woman, when your passion is MLiing
Test online over all course content and get certification for Hunter Safety
Go shopping with your wife.
Best Wishes, Chap
