Unfortunately my video files are a little too long to attach

It’s hard to put into words… 4 months ago I started a project (my 2nd Kibler Colonial) that would result in a beautiful work of art and an accurate tool to aid in successful adventures in the woods. ‘Success’ in the hunting world is often a term used to describe a harvest. While it is...

Leland Davis out of Wells, Kansas did mine. I’m very pleased with it

@Andrewmtnman at the time, they were in the process of deciding to expand or put some crew in a more focused area. Kansas only has one field agent (I can’t remember the technical term for it. Client Conservation Management Specialist? Something sounding similar to that.) but has a great number...

We also grew up in poverty. Can’t tell you how many meals we have out of a cast iron skillet or a crockpot. Seemed like it was every meal. It didn’t matter if it was farm raised or wild game (which was most of our sustenance). This last year I harvested my 39th gobbler. Can’t say I’ve ever had...

Checking your local and destination regs will be in your favor. As stated before, .40 and below will serve you well for small game. I’ve shot Kansas whitetail with a .40, .54 & .58 and have yet to make a follow up shot. None have gone more than 50 yards. I have, however, harvested an elk with a...

I understand where their vitals are. Hunting them with a bow offers deceiving opportunities. I guess what I meant is how do you shoot them with a rifle without destroying the meat?

They’re located in 20+ states. Headquarters in Bozeman. It’s legitimate. Very conservation friendly I think they started 6-8 years ago and have slowly expanded. I think the idea will catch on as people realize they surrender so many rights through leasing and working through outfitters. This...

I had this in smoothbore section, but I just tested a bunch of shot loads in my 24 gauge Kibler. Should knock ‘em dead at 25 yards https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/shot-patterns.160172/#post-2280889

Where is ‘your neck of the woods’? Our rafters are diminishing rapidly in Kansas. I’ve taken a new hunter out for the last 3-4 years for spring thunder. I have located a few from last year, but I believe I’ll be hunting on my own with the numbers I’m seeing

What questions may you have? I actually interviewed with LandTrust a few months ago about them expanding more into Kansas (they’re going to be extending another agent in my neck of the woods in the future). As per hunting with them, I have not

I was just talking to an individual in a hunting forum on this matter. He had a an American fowler built with a corelain barrel and he shoots #9 TSS, not shot cups involved. Amazing patterns at 50 yards per his picture (if true). Can’t speak on the well being of the barrel, though.

Are you aiming for low vitals to not blow up the breasts? I’m curious

This deeply resembles the rubber chicken toy my dog chews on that causes an utterly irritable noise.

You’re some shrubbery short of becoming the next Bob Ross

With my two Kibler’s, I started out by sighting them in at 25 yards. This will take care of your left and right. Once you get comfortable and build some confidence in shooting, extend it to 50 yards to get your sights fine tuned.

Where in my previous posts did I mention body shots? No one likes lead in their nuggets

I mentioned it earlier, but it wasn’t a thought at the time. The shot did penetrate the wood about an 1/16-1/8”. I would think that should be sufficient on flesh
