    How thick is the patch? Have you measured the bore?

    Revisiting our friend Titus Bass

    Nice! Do you plan to read them in the order they were released or chronological order?

    Revisiting our friend Titus Bass

    I read the Carry The Wind series years ago and really enjoyed it. Lately its been calling to me so I've been revisiting the world of Titus Bass. The first time I read it in the order the books were released (original trilogy, then the prequels followed by the sequels). This time I'm reading it...

    Harey Enchiladas

    I do prefer the taste of snowshoe hare but rabbit isn't far behind. :thumb:

    Harey Enchiladas

    My favorite dish to prepare with snowshoe hares (or cottontails) is enchiladas. Since I prepare them with hares most often I came up with the name Harey Enchiladas. It takes two average size snowshoes or three cottontails to make a 13X9 pan of enchiladas. About a month ago I took a small...

    The Muzzleloading Hunter

    I've enjoyed this book also @TDM. Mine no longer has a dust jacket but I have a copy on my "muzzleloading" book shelf.

    Hunting Two Very Different Types of Terrain

    I wouldn't mind seeing that myself. I've never seen an 8X8 bull. The only 7X7 (that I was positive was a 7X7) I've ever seen was in the Vasquez Peak Wilderness in Colorado. Some of my favorite country I've ever hunted was on backpack hunts in Colorado wilderness areas. Along with Vasquez Peak...

    Hunting Two Very Different Types of Terrain

    I wound up hunting two very different types of terrain today. I started out hunting in mountains looking for mule deer and elk. I covered quite a bit of ground and gained a lot of elevation. I saw a lot of deer and elk tracks but all the sign was a few days old. The freshest deer track I saw was...

    Authentic Mountain Man Experience?

    I was going to say the same thing as @Brokennock. Most mountain men weren't too concerned with conservation when it came to wildlife. It wasn't uncommon to kill an animal just for a meal. I do remember in one journal (Russell I believe) a comment on what a waste it was to kill a bison (IIRC)...

    Authentic Mountain Man Experience?

    I'm thinking a mountain man in that time period would have shot the first moose I came across, that didn't have a calf. If they were in need of meat they wouldn't pass up an opportunity. If they didn't need meat there would be no need to shoot either animal. Even if that was the goal, the calf...

    Problems with Flint & Steel

    By far the majority of the posts in this conversation have been centered around flint and steel and making char cloth or charring natural materials. Other methods were briefly mentioned, including friction fire but have not been the focus of the conversation. They were at least relevant to the...

    When did small caliber rifles become a thing and why?

    I've always felt smaller bore diameters were a result of transitioning from round balls to conicals. As people traveled west and encountered larger game they wanted heavier projectiles. The reason for this is that heavier projectiles usually increase penetration. The only way to get a heavier...

    Authentic Mountain Man Experience?

    I spent the last couple of days hunting with my .54 cal flintlock GPR. Mountain man Warren Angus Ferris spent a lot of time in this valley and wrote of it in his journals. I think of his writing often when I hunt this area. I haven't taken anything yet this season. Usually I see quite a few...
