Well said, I use 75 grains 3F, load and prime from one horn. .60 ball with pillow ticking patch and have not found a ball in a deer yet at 50 yard or less. I still hunt and don't like shooting if I can't get in close.
But I have also loaded in a timed shoot with most balls in the paper plate at 30 yards, where I used powder and ball no patching and it is amazing how many shots hit the plate compared to the careful loading shooters on line with me. So even unpatched I would say you can make meat of save your scalp.

Luckily when I saw the critter on the road, I checked the trapping and hunting laws that I carry. In Georgia, otter trapping is legal. Now, I did find him on the last day of the trapping season. Lucky for me, but I have contacted the local WMA / DNR manager and he is getting back with me later this week.
The DNR manager knows I am an upstanding guy and if it is illegal, I have no problem donating it to the local Cherokee museum. Just a shame to let such a monster get trashed on the road. Critters this big need to be immortalized.
In Georgia, ya better not buy or sell any black bear parts. You can have bear parts if you kill the bear, but that is it. A gent at a rendezvous 4 years ago tried to trade me a bear skin. Almost made the trade but a kindly old buckskinner set this greenhorn straight.
I will let ya'll know how it works out.
Thanks,
Frank

Hawk is totally right on having certain animals and or parts
although Native Americans can have parts with documentation from state...in
most cases..
Run into this few years back on a griz claw necklace.
Otter is protected in some states...
I think {not sure} certain items can be had if documentation is had from the
Native source
Dont get caught in Fl woth Panther parts... big time trouble..

I assume you are speaking of obtaining your natural point of aim ---if
that is what you are speaking of there is two things that can be done to
rasise the front of the barrel of your gun---one move the rear foot
slightly to the rear---this is only good for real minor ajustments---the
next thing is to move your support hand closer to your body if you need a
lot of ajustment then you may have to use your fingertips to support your
forstock that is rotate your hand where instead of sitting in the crotch
of your hand to laying on your palm with your fingers forward or even
your fingers supporting the forstock ---but remember no stress on the
fingers---the most positive bone to bone support is the steadiest and you
need to look for the position that requires less tention and is natural
in your shooting stance---remember natural is the word---
