That's a tough decision for sure. With your preferred archery spot being so close, might not be a bad idea but for me carrying a .54 Hawken through the Rockies feels pretty darn good. Not that my Fred Bear recurve doesn't feel good it's just different. Good news is both are in September and...

I always enjoy your upcoming season threads longcruise and this year we are changing it up. Decided to do Preference Points and then OTC either sex elk tag but for archery (recurve) this year. I'm not the best archer but have been practicing out to 30yds and dialing in arrows/tips. I have a...

With Hornady no longer casting the Great Plains bullet in .54 caliber, is there a mold that anyone can recommend for casting your own Great Plains bullets?

Not a bad idea at all Jake. Maybe even go back with the same barn red color as a way to preserve it if you will. I never met the man that owned this canoe before and painted it but I feel kinda connected if you know what I mean.

Wow...Thank you guys - THANK YOU!! Now I have a decision to make as I just might leave it on there. Thank you all again so much - I really appreciate all the great information, pictures and explanations.

I picked up this little canoe from a lady here local. When I asked about the symbol on it, she shared that her dad painted that on there back in the mid 80's but unfortunately he had passed and she knew nothing about it. She shared that he was into muzzleloading/reenacting and sometimes he...

I'll watch anything pertaining to the Mountain Man era and I've really enjoyed both of them so far. Looking forward to the others and sure....every production will have something that's not to our liking for one reason or another but I really like what INSP has done here. My mid 20's son is...

Thank You All!! I apologize for my absence and I won't bore you with that. Life in general has kept me away from several things including the task of trying to dye it. With getting caught up reading all your input/suggestions I think I might be leaving it and see if father time can help with...

Do you by chance make them for .54 cal? I checked your web-site and didn't see them so thought I'd ask.

Thank you guys for all the replies. This has definitely made me rethink about casting my own. I’ll check out what Lyman’s has for a similar mold. This Ol’ smokepole does like GP bullet for sure. Thank you again - I appreciate all the help and input.

Hello at the fire!! Can someone enlighten me for a good source for buying .54 cal. Great Plains bullets for my 1/48 twist Hawken. After several local failed attempts (Sportman's, local gun stores,etc) I was hoping I can find them online but not having much luck there either. Any Ideas??

Thank you guys. All good points/great ideas and I appreciate all the input. It is sunforger canvas so maybe it is what it is. Maybe I'll try and smoke it and see what happens. I'm thinking I could set it up without the stove but open the stove flap and put a small fire inside and see what...

For a few years now I've thought about trying to dye (or stain, I don't know..) my 12'x12' pyramid tent a tan or soft brown. I'm just wanting it to blend in a bit with surroundings instead of being stark white. Curious if anyone has done this type of thing or if it's just better left as is.

Nice Job!! That's a nice big bodied buck that no doubt will fill the pan multiple times and taste great. Great Work!!

Nice Job and Nice Buck!!

C for me. Last elk I harvested (5x5) was with a .54 Cal Hawken at 60 yards. 1 shot and he ran about 20 yards.

Man that is nice...Real Nice!! What kind of feather is that?

Hello at the fire. Life happened and I haven't picked up my muzzleloaders for 4-5 years and boy did I miss them. Time to get back to making some smoke but before I do I could use some schooling. Refresh me please on powder for these smokepoles.. - 54 Caliber Percussion Hawken...Triple F??? -...

I purchased a little cylinder stove (17"x10") to go in my 12x12 Pyramid tent. I'm leaning towards putting the stove hole in the middle back wall (still need to figure out how far up to put the stove jack)but I'm curious what others may have done and how much clearance you may have allowed...

Dang nice bull and congratulations! Due to conflicts, I'm not going until 4th season but still plan to be hunting with the muzzleloader.
