    What tools do you have?

    Any coyote hunters?

    Run your loads hot, and don't take shots that are farther than you could hit a coffee filter... you won't have any trouble with a .36. Watch him run, and mark immediately mark the spot where your feet were planted, a definite landmark where the coyote was standing, and, a landmark where you had...

    Pregnant Doe

    Well, it's a future buck, but taking deer out of the picture for next year, reduces browsing competition, improving everything from songbird nesting habitat which is reduced by overbrowsing, creates a decrease in food for predators, making it more difficult for their litters to survive as their...

    I'm stuck and it's stuck in barrel

    This topic comes up so frequently, but out of the half dozen methods that always get suggested, this idea is the smartest, most reliable, simplest, and most feasible... The shooting idea is always suggested as well, but I frown on the idea of shooting anything but soft lead out of a bore that...

    No more trail cameras allowed in Utah

    Personally, I AM against trail cameras for hunting. I think trail cameras are a poor substitute for techniques and prowess in scouting. and people have been relying on them for 20 years or so now, to the extent that they don't even know how to scout without them, nor have they passed down such...

    Hunting Squirrels w/Big Bore...

    This year, i "missed" a head shot with a .44 roundball through a handgun, and upon skinning him, i realized there was a network of inch long splinters embedded through his chest and no hole from the ball. I had missed his head and hit the limb he was sitting on, the ball had glanced slightly and...

    Spilling powder

    Gentle tips with the horn will solve your problems my friend, tip slightly into the measure from your horn and back off, check it, tip a bit more, and when you get close, another careful attentive tip should do it. Practice filling your measure a couple evenings at home in your living room. I...

    Some mighty fancy shootin'

    I'll tell you man, I can't figure that out either. Everytime i put the balls in the same hole they end up getting smashed. I had to quit doing that, was messing up all my lead. I'm just careful now and make sure each ball goes in its own hole.

    Here you go! Tells you everything you want to know and more, including the reason for the development of the cherokee, along with the reason for its uniquely high rate of twist that isn't found in any other production small bore muzzleloader.

    Flint Knapping

    I have gotten by for years with a few hammer stones consisting of oblong shaped fine grained igneous stones of a couple variety of sizes small to large for percussion flaking and whacking out spalls, and a section cut off a broom stick with a nail stuck in the end, and also the occasional...

    Blade Front Sight

    I was about to suggest the same thing. Sharp edges and burrs are no good on a gun that you want to really shoot and handle... that is going to hurt for about a week man.

    New Year- new gun for the wife

    I am trying to wrap my brain around the idea that there was a character running around out there offering to trade his gun to guys like us for their wife...doesn't seem like the sort of fellow I'd want rolling up when i need a jumpstart some icy night on the side of a country road. Caught in a...

    Derringer

    Im a fan of the cva model. Here's mine, with a can of copenhagen for size scale. It is my opinion that it was a great loss to us when cva stopped manufacturing these. Traditions picked up the rights, but the traditions models look kind of like the same way old-timer knives began to look after...

    Evil lead!

    I learned in a chemistry class once that, not only are lead oxides very colorful and quite brilliant, but also have quite a sweet flavor...which explains two things... 1) the use of lead paint, and 2) the reason why kids like to eat it... And 3) well nevermind that...

    Question for the small game hunters

    It really depends on your bore size, amount of choke, and how many pellets you load with. This is just me, but i like to use larger...mainly because if you aim a little closer to the head than you should have, and the ring of pellets extend into the body, then you only have one or two pellets...

    Canadian hogs

    Evidently, the genetic markers that differentiate proportions of hair growth in the wild population in response to varying geographic climate wasn't lost to their cousins during the selective breeding process either. I would say this rather hairy variation of feral swine displays a remnant of a...
