Trees don't seem to last to long once they are on the ground. They start to deteroate fairly quick. Best if you can cut them up or get them up off the ground. Another thing you can do, is to seal the ends. It slows down the moisture leaving the wood and helps with keeping the wood from warping...

I have an Alaskan mill.oh it works and so do you. You will need a good saw,a long bar and a ripping chain. After using it I bought a hydraulic mill. I use to do a lot of custom sawing in my younger days. So if you have just a few logs I would suggest finding a local mill. If someone has a band...

I never had a rust problem with bore butter. However I have had some tube s That was very thick and some that is very thin. I am far from an expert and will be the first to admit it. However weather it is good or not you use what is available. I don't comment much but I do enjoy reading all the...

If I may add my 3 cents ( 3 cents because of inflation) I would check first to see what caliber's are legal to hunt deer with in you area or the area you intend to hunt in. Some areas, you have to use 50 caliber or bigger. All of the flintlock you mentioned would do the job, however you wouldn't...

Accurate or not I think it looks good. You definitely have a talent. 👍

To me inline muzzleloader's are just one part short of being a modern rifle. Why not use a black powder cartridge single shot rifle. When I think of a muzzleloader I think of a flintlock or percussion rifle you use loose powder in, iron sights, no scopes or fiberoptic. Oh one can use the...

I heard that!

I have instant cow dung machines here on my farm. All I have to do is put a round bale out there and it turns into cow dung. I even have a instant bull dung machine. 😉

Yep been there done that . I'll tell you for sure. Took some pretty good naps like that. Always wondered how many deer walk past me.

I too like to hunt alone. It's not so much getting game it's just being out in the woods and if I come across a big buck I'll take a shot. However just being out is relaxing for me

I'm the same. When I was working in the mill I made a 1/4 wave ant put it on top of a dust collector and would call my wife at brake time. I also like muzzle loaders. Have a couple I've never fired. Seems like I always go to my hawkens 50. N3wyu "73"

Ya you got me. I been a ham since 96

When you give up a shot and give it to a young kid it makes the whole season

Well there are some good hunters. I have a man and his son hunt on me. They don't cause any problems they even offer me some deer meat and when they go fishing up north they bring me back some smoked salmon. They don't have to but I do appreciate it and they are always welcome to hunt my farm...

I always wondered if I would hot wired some hunters vehicle when they sneak in on me how would they feel about that., or if I took one of my tractors and blocked them in. They would probably have an issue.

Purple paint is new for Pennsylvania and as a farmer I welcome it. I let people hunt if they stop and ask. But if they sneak in and go where they are not supposed to go and when I run them off I'm told that they have a license I have a problem with that!!

Yep you have to keep quiet about things like that. Sheepshead is another thing you don't want to say where you found them. But I do like it when it is fresh and especially on the grill.

Rendering lard, something you don't hear any more. I remember my mother doing it when I was a kid. My My am I getting that old. ???

I like them on the grill. Fresh out of the garden, can't beat it. We have been eating ours for a couple of weeks now.

Many things can spook a deer. Scent movement especially towards them, but I've noticed your eyes can spook them. People have eyes like a predator located in front like a coyote dog big cat. Whereas deer are prey animals with the eyes off to the side so they can see in front to the side and...
