    Still Hunting

    Yeah - what roundball said. A wise man once told me why I had a hard time stillhunting; he said, "They are full-time deer, and we're part-time hunters." :haha: I think that explains it pretty well. Stillhunting only differs from "stalking" in that when you're stalking, you're truly trying to...

    squirrel barking

    I've always understood that it was supposed to be the concussion of the bark hitting the poor little guy in the head. :cry: It's possible that he wasn't even dead when he fell from the tree and had to be dispatched after hitting the ground. :p IM jaybe :thumbsup:

    Muzzleloadng Stand

    Yeah - Nice stand. It looks a lot like the ones I make, except yours appears to have a swivel seat. Mine have a fixed seat, and I have to swivel "my seat". Yes, they are heavy, but I am waiting until spring to see if a determined "hunting slob" will take mine down (or destroy it). It's...

    Are we all just "gun geeks"?

    I've been thinking about this off and on ALL NIGHT since my last post - thought I ought to add something just for anyone who is new to BP or who is really confused after reading this far on this thread. Black Powder is the standard for the loading information for muzzleloaders. If you read...

    Are we all just "gun geeks"?

    Right, Stumpy - I agree. That's why I don't think anyone can say with certainty what weight charge they are using unless they actually weigh it. What we are used to talking about is actually a volume measure that is supposed to be equal to a certain weight. I think I stated that I determined...

    How much powder did they shoot?

    OH! I thought the question was, "How much powder did they shoot (in each load)?" Not, "How much powder did they shoot (in a given period of time)?" Sounds like they had a lot to shoot when they needed it, doesn't it? :hmm:

    Old hooks

    You might also try contacting the Orvis people. They have numerous fly shops around my state, and probably have franchises all over the country. IM jaybe :thumbsup:

    How much powder did they shoot?

    Taq - You'd better get some of that Ginko Baloney - or whatever it is. They say it helps the memory. All you have to worry about is remembering to take it :crackup:

    Is it ok?

    I thought it might not be appropriate because it wasn't related to Muzzleloading. :sorry: But, hey - I own more fishing rods than guns, too. I'm all for being able to discuss fishing here if it's appropriate. :thumbsup:

    Are we all just "gun geeks"?

    Flash - I guess I don't understand this "volumetrically" thing. I ran this around on another thread and didn't get an answer that I was satisfied with, but then, I didn't do any reasearch on it either. I know that when you buy powder, it's by the pound - that's 7000 grains weight. As far as...

    How did we get here?

    Stumpy - that was great - only one thing you left out ... ... and it was very good! Thanks.

    RESULTS - Age of Forum Users

    Of 134 Users who reported their age, the average is 48.4 years. I originally had this thought as a result of a post concerning The Future of the Sport. What conclusions can we draw from this survey? 1. It's probably a good representation of the average age of those on this forum, but not...

    Age of Forum Users

    OK - Methinks this thread has just about run its course. I will post the final results on a new post marked "Results - Age of Forum Users". But for those reading here, of 134 users who reported, the average age is 48.4. We are still guessing about Tipis, since she wants to remain...

    Moderator Question thought on new board

    So you see, hobbitcop - there really are no simple questions - - or, at least, no simple answers. :hmm:

    First Muzzleloader

    Speaking of Crockett .... I think a saying that was attributed to Mr. David Crockett was, "Make sure you're right, then go ahead." Maybe A. Jackson paraphrased him, eh? :hmm: Congrats on the new possessions - do a lot of reading, then enjoy your new sport. IM jaybe :thumbsup:
