    Powder and mice?

    Shawn Woods, who has the You Tube channel 'MouseTrapMondays' does all kinds of rodent trap and repellant testing. I can say that he doesn't find much that really works. One exception was mint oil:

    The old .45 Flinter did it again

    Congratulations. That doe is a hog! :thumb:

    Powder and mice?

    For the mouse's sake, I hope he isn't getting together with his buddies to drink beer and try to light farts this weekend!!! 😲😆

    Muzzleloader Magazine Nov/Dec

    December 15 and nothing. Soon it will be time for the Jan/Feb issue!

    Great hunt this evening. I laughed a lot.

    I laugh at myself as well when I "screw up" somehow and lose a good opportunity. I smile and silently congratulate the animal on winning that round! A lot of the fun of a hunt is the challenge (and some luck) of everything going just right, and accepting, with good humor, when it doesn't. I...

    Montana Heritage Season Opener

    It's always good to hear about states that hold a traditional-only hunt. I hope these states can continue to hold off attempts to *******ize the season by allowing modern aids (verified medical condition exemptions allowed). I have nothing against people using modern weapons. For proper game...

    In the squirrel woods.

    Have had more than one squirrel dog squealing as it tried to remove a squirrel that was firmly hanging by teeth on the dog's lip! You are correct...dangerous, menacing savages!

    In the squirrel woods.

    Batting 500 is pretty good, but Jess doesn't look impressed!!! ;) 🙂

    1:44 twist 50 cal and lead conicals

    Conicals can work in many twists. Groove configuration may also be key as well as particular conicals. I shot big 425 grain Hornady Great Plains conicals out of my 1-65 twist .54 cal Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken and Frontier rifles with great success using a charge of 90 grains T7 or real...

    Cow elk with a .50 flinter and rb

    Congratulations! Beautiful cow and a great shot! :thumb: You mentioned that the flintlock was a "pain." In what way? Curious if we have tips for you. A flinter should be fine in the snow.

    Flintlock scores again

    Nice buck. Congrats!

    First Deer

    You did very well on both the fine smoothie and the hunt! Congrats. :thumb:

    Trad. Muzzleloading Publications?

    I've never found any magazines devoted only to Traditional ML hunting, only some DVDs. Long ago Roger Raglin made several videos solely dedicated to hunting with sidelocks. Then there's Brian Beckum's videos. Haven't seen him come out with anything new for some time now, though. Too bad.

    Blondie gets it done

    Looks like Blondie did her job. Congrats to both of you! :thumb:

    First deer with a muzzleloader - TC Hawken 50

    Interesting since baiting is illegal. I guess you guys are outside the ever-expanding CWD area where any form of feeding is illegal since it encourages close contact and CWD transmission. Feel for your situation. A farm next door to my small property leased out and quite suddenly all the deer...

    First deer with a muzzleloader - TC Hawken 50

    Congratulations! :thumb: Good looking doe. Muzzleloader season weather in MN has been more like October than end of November. Looks like it keeps up through next week, so enjoy while you continue your search for antlers. You should have a good chance because the MN DNR says that deer are...

    Coastal Blacktail

    Congrats on a well-earned buck! None of us are perfect executing every single time, despite our best efforts to do so. We take the good with the bad. :thumb: Beautiful country and good to hear about the Bismuth alloy results. Minnesota has gone to zero lead on any Special hunts and I...

    Got my first deer with a flintlock

    Track of the Wolf has about every size you can imagine.

    Squirrel hunting with the traditions 50 cal.

    Was a trapper for many years but never heard of squirrels classified as furbearers. Are they used for fishing flys? Curious as to why the effort to stretch it, but I'm probably not understanding the end game for the pelt. Can you enlighten me? Also, is "unseasonably warm" above zero F in...
