I stopped big game, upland and waterfowl hunting many years ago. But in 2005 I started using only a 36 caliber rifle and 45 caliber pistol (both sidelocks) for called predator and varmint hunting. Modern rifles had long ago become way too easy, and so did specialty pistols as well after about 35 years, so the challenge of the muzzies brought new life back into those two types of hunting for me that I had done for over 5 decades but had been getting pretty stale. I never used camo for any type of hunting my whole life, but I did start wearing my rendezvous persona leathers to really be going back to basics on my hunts. Added alot of pleasure to the hunts. I did fine with varmints to surprising ranges with the 36 up front, called predators that stopped were also no problem, but it took me a bit to get running shots on predators down with both arms. I started getting a handle on it though and there was plenty of satisfaction again on all my hunts. Too bad near 40 years ago I shot a few predators with my 50 & 54 Hawkens. Did so much pelt damage (I ran trap lines then too) that I never used the muzzies again for them until 2005. Never even tried with the first 32's, 36's or 45's I owned unfortunately, so I missed out on a lot of years I could have been using the muzzies for P&V.
