    I used 3f today.

    Great little video of Jess! :thumb: 😍 The bloody dog snoot from having a live squirrel attached is one I've seen numerous times. It is usually preceded by a yelp and then one very ticked off pup intent on squirrel destruction!

    Great Day Hunting Deer with Muzzleloader!

    What a perfect day in the field! 😍 I can only wish you many more, but I have the same trepidation as you regarding the future of true quality hunting. Our DNR brags on a 60% hunter sat rating. Geez, a business would be in bankruptcy if 40% of its clients weren't happy.

    Success!

    I would wager good money that most of us born and raised in hunting families cut our teeth on small game of some kind, or perhaps waterfowl or upland birds. :thumb: Small game and birds most generally aren't going to require tracking/trailing skills after the shot that is more common with...

    Another successful hunt

    That's a lot of action and success in 24 hrs! Congrats. Lucky on that one doe though. Hard to know just where you might hit a deer standing behind another.

    1:44 twist 50 cal and lead conicals

    Yep...exactly why one just has to put in the time to see what their particular gun likes to eat! In my case the TC solid base conicals tumbled with or without a wad and at various charges. The hollow base GP and Buffalo bullets worked perfectly.

    Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken - question on quality: any owner of recently newly made piece here?

    So you are talking 1300 Euro...a little over $1400 US. Sorry to hear of all the bureaucracy just to purchase a muzzleloader. Many here in the U.S. take it for granted that we'll always just be able to walk into a store and get one. Some even still vote for politicians dead set on taking their...

    Your question can only be answered by you, and your particular gun. You might try several different conicals each with varying powder charges and see which group the best.

    Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken - question on quality: any owner of recently newly made piece here?

    Like PastorB, my RMH has been with me for a long time...about 20 years. It's the one gun I will never sell...too many great hunts and memories between us. Still looks great with just a "memory mark" or two. I hope Pedersoli has kept up with quality on this model, but it wouldn't surprise me...

    Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken - question on quality: any owner of recently newly made piece here?

    Perhaps price? Two grand at Midway and over that at ML.com!!! Geez, go get a custom for that. No wonder they have them in stock! OP stated $1300.

    The PA ‘One-of-a-Kind’ Flintlock Deer Season Turns 50!

    Thanks for posting the article. I commend your state DNR for maintaining this truly traditional hunt over 50 years! 77,000 participants is impressive! The harvest stats aren't anything to snivel at either. Just goes to show that people will try it and hunt if the season is left as...

    Getting Started In Ca

These would not only teach you basic skills you will need, but give you access to instructors and attendees that can give you information specifically valid for your state. https://wildlife.ca.gov/Hunter-Education You can also find many...

    Black grouse and capercaillie hunting

    I, for one, had no idea what these birds were, so for anyone else that doesn't know: https://wildmark.fi/capercaillie/

    Ducks, Dogs, and Muzzleloaders

    That really was a great day! Terriers are extremely versatile, but never heard of a little one being used to retrieve waterfowl! :thumb:

    Trail-cam pictures.

    Too large for a Velociraptor. 🙂 Despite the depiction in Jurassic Park, they were rather small...less than 3' tall and 30-40 pounds. The producers thought it was a cool name and therefore just used the name on a larger animal.
