X-Treme Muzzleloading Fur, Fowl and Dangerous Game with Muzzleloading Rifles, Smoothbores and Pistols Go with acclaimed writer Wm. Hovey Smith as he factually, and sometimes humorously, relates the successes and failures of his half-century of muzzleloading hunts in North America, Europe and Africa with everything from Japanese matchlocks to in-line rifles. Although some nice animals are taken, this book is more about examining the guns and how to make them effective game killers than a recounting of one mans hunts. Detailed information about the guns and loads and a collection of his wild-game recipes adds to the usefulness of the book. Many of his recipes have been featured on his radio show, Hoveys Outdoor Adventures, on WebTalkRadio.net, and his squirrel dishes were broadcast by the B.B.C. to their worldwide audience.
