    Greetings from Sweden.

    Welcome to the Forum. I am a geography afficianado thus I had to Google Map your location. It seems to be a beautiful place especially this time of year with the snow. Out of curiosity, can you hunt game with muzzleloaders in Sweden?Thank you for your reply.

    Pistol Wish List

    A Ruger Old Army but with a longer frame to allow the use of a cylinder that can accommodate a good 50 grains or more of powder and a good conical bullet.

    OK. Semi idiot question

    A while back I purchased a TC New Englander 12 guage shotgun that had been converted to flintlock by a retired Ohio gunsmith. I love the gun and I had a thought. It would be nice to have a barrel that I can drop in to use on deer such as a rifled 62 caliber/20 guage. Does anyone make such a...

    Surprise-surprise

    Congratulations on a successful hunt.Wild boar are one of my favorite animals to hunt. Here in the US most of the wild boar are feral pigs but they still are fun and quite tasty when prepared right.

    Wild Boar scents and calls?

    If you don't mind, I would like to ask a couple of questions in regards to free ranging wild boar. Has anyone here ever used a scent, call or combination of the two to lure in a wild boar within shooting range? I was watching a show the other day called Wild Russia and the narrator had a...

    this is how the Antelope hunt went down

    Congratulations on taking such a fine animal. That rifle is very interesting. I don't know of anyone else who shoots paper patched bullets out of a muzzleloading arm.

    rack or meat?

    Not to get on a soap box but I believe that the latest fad in focusing on trophy hunting will be a detriment to hunting in the future. I see it now as many are brainwashed into thinking that a deer less than B and C grade is not worth anything. The hunting community must change the focus for the...

    rack or meat?

    I have a passion for the hunt. I love to be part of the life cycle and be at one with nature. I try to take the first legal animal that offers an opportunity. Hunting in New England is tough. The success rates are among the lowest in the nation so you can't afford to be too picky.

    The curse is broken! I received a turkey tag

    Congratulations and good luck on the hunt. So you have a draw for turkey tags in South Dakota? That seems odd for me here in New England. In Massachusetts we have a deadline to send in five bucks for a turkey permit which allows you to take two bearded birds in the spring or one of any sex in...

    Black Powder Coyotes?

    I had taken a 44 lb male a few years ago while deer hunting but I lost the picture. I never went for coyote with a muzzleloader intentionally.

    The feasibility of returning to a more primitive season?

    I was thinking about the treestand vs ground blind post and what Swampy stated as well as my own observations. That is in regard to still hunting and hunting pressure in the southern New England area. Most of my deer hunting consists of bow hunting Connecticut and Massachusetts and then hunting...

    tree stand ,sit or move?

    Swampy said it best for hunting here in Southern New England and I may add some parts of Northern New England. You really cannot walk around and still hunt without pushing deer into someone else. I have done it enough to stop still hunting. I do a lot of hunting out of treestands but I am using...

    Packing out a critter

    Where we hunt in southern New England the vehicle isn't too far from the kill site. The method my dad and I use is to take a heavy duty PVC snow sled and load the deer on that. We then pull it out whether it is dry or snow covered. Works very well. It isn't historically correct but it works well.

    6 or 8 guage?

    I know some people here think I went off of the deep end, so to speak but I did have an idea. Several years ago I was at a friend's gun shop where he had an antique muzzleloading single shot shotgun. It was a percussion ignition in 6 guage. Someone did buy it but I thought that it would be...

    moose huntin'

    Our family members apply each year for the moose permit lotteries for the states of Maine,New Hampshire and Vermont. I've been lucky to have been drawn in 2003 and my mom in 2004. The chances are very slim I will admit.

    50 cal trapper pistol for ram hunt ?

    With more land being developed for housing and other purposes you will see more hunting preserves in the future. Whether for good or bad, you can't turn the clock back.

    12 guage TC Black mountain magnum shoots low

    After this season I plan to send it back. Here are some pictures of the gun and a pattern taken at 30 yards.

    12 guage TC Black mountain magnum shoots low

    I am glad to see that there is no end to the jocularity here. :thumbsup: My fear is that subconciously at the last miute I will compensate and put the bead in line with the tang and fire with the result of a crippling body shot instead of a clean killing head-neck shot.
