    He never told me it was a deer gun

    Congratulations! Is that jerky, steak, or deer burger? Nice shot. Do you plan to use that gun again for deer?

    I did it! I did it!

    I downloaded photobucket, but I haven't got around to taking any pictures yet. When I get them I'll try to post them. I might even include myself in the photos. I'll probably post them in the pictures forum. Thank-You for your interest, Fred

    Brass Tacks

    Nice idea Roadrat. I remember seeing an article mentioning tacks in (I think) either Field and Stream or Outdoor Life and was simply curious if someone else had done something like it before. I too had thought about how it could look if you had only a few or if not done right. I think Jethro has...

    I did it! I did it!

    Yes, I bought some Goex while I was at the shop. I got some 4f for priming and 2f for the main charge. I had some pyrodex pistol powder laying around so I tried it in the pan just for the hang of it. THE STUFF DID NOT WORK WELL. It sizzled instead of flashed. It fouled up my pan faster, and it...

    Do any of you use brass tacks hammered into gun or some other idea to keep track of how many animals your muzzleloader has harvested? Fred

    I did it! I did it!

    I finally bought a flintlock. It is a Traditions Shenandoah. I know it is not absolutely P.C. but it was about all I could afford. As long as it does good as a hunting rifle I'll be happy. It has the 1 in 66" twist so I'll be shooting patched round balls. Some interesting things happened when I...

    Book for Building Rifle

    Thank-You very much for all that info. I'll have to look up some of those books. I know flint is a little late for the era I'm talking of but I would really like to try one sometime. I guess I'll be one of those old timers who don't really trust the percussion yet. Bill, that is a very nice...

    Book for Building Rifle

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me the name of a good book for building a flintlock fullstock long rifle. I am thinking of a style that could be found around 1840. Thank-You very much, Fred

    what is hunting to you?

    I don't mean to copy others, but I feel the same way in some areas. To me, hunting is spending time with my friends and brother. I absolutely love just being in the woods, enjoying God's creation,or spending time thinking.I think it's neat to observe a mouse,squirrel or whatever else happens by...
