I hunt with a .32, .45, .54 and .62 (smooth bore) I love having different calibers for specific types of game but as others have said, I would not hesitate to hunt anything with any caliber and for the most part have, within the law. The .32 is a little on the light end and legally to small for...

Make a cows knee for both rifles. It will protect the lock from moisture, but you still need to do your part to keep as much direct rain off the lock. I have been hunting almost exclusively with a flintlock or percussion gun since about 2000. If weather is really bad I will put a small piece of...

I don't have firsthand experience, but I know people do it. I knew a Dr. who used to go. and My Gunbuilding Mentor used to build 4 and 8 bores for a client to take to Africa. I think The PH orders the powder you need and jumps through the hoops to get it.

Good Luck! I lived in Taos for 30 years. Ron Petersons in Abq has a few things but not much. He used to sell Black powder but you had to ask. I've been gone for almost a decade now so things may have changed. I used to get everything I needed from Rendezvous but even that has gotten difficult...

Tsaan Wookkuh Wakingeagle!! Beautiful bull and well deserved! You definitely put in the effort and were rewarded! Thank you so much for taking all of us along with you!! Your writing is eloquent and poetic to our ears!!

Tsaan Wookkuh Senior Frontier's!!! Good Job Mr Frontier's!! -- Comanche Thanks For Sharing!!

Very Nice! Thanks For sharing! Very nice story!! My Family being long time family from Taos, and strong Romero and Herrera Roots, we are probably related! Although we relate more to the Comanche side of the Family. Well done!

Boy that sounds like a lot of fun, don't it!! Keep it coming! I am living vicariously through ya'lls stories since once again I drew no Tags!! Best of luck to you and your group!!

I think part of your issue with using a magnet will be muzzle flip. When shooting a rifle, muzzle flip is less prominent, so your analogy of shooting rifle with no wedge is not the same. Your wrist is not going to be able to control the muzzle. If I were you I would figure out a way to hold the...

I moved to Oregon for a little while hoping to get to do more hunting. I was able to put in for the draw and did not draw anything. and now I have moved back to Nevada so I'm back on the prowl for places to hunt that does not require a draw. So thank you all for your helpful information. I...

Its an unfortunate fact that hunter success is low on the priority for game managers.

If archery hunters can get close enough so can you! Best of luck!! Can't wait to see pictures!!

I do as much as possible to hunt in period garb. My only allowance is footwear. I had to cut short a couple deer hunts due to bruising on my feet the did not allow me to continue hunting. The country I hunt is rocky and I just don’t have tough enough feet. Tags are hard to come by so I don’t...

Casting does not take too much equipment. I started with an old heavy skillet and a big spoon I pinched a grove into that I found at a thrift store. I replaced the plastic handle with a wooden one and went at it!! I don't know much about the rifle you are talking about, but the advice posted so...

I have flown with ML before also. As others have said, as soon as you walk into the airport tell the first Security guard or airline employee that you see that you need to check a firearm. I always keep the ammunition separate in my checked bag and declare that to. They will take all your bags...

Closed breach muzzleloaders do have a distinctly different muzzle flash and report from my experience. Traditional cap lock rifles and flintlock rifles loose some pressure out of the vent and nipple and are "usually" loaded with lighter charges, so they sound and look different. How tight the...

Tsaan Wookkuh! Good Job!! - Comanche Ol' Bridger would be proud!!

Its my understanding that Alox does not react well with Holy black. I have heard it works great with black powder substitutes. But I don’t have anything to prove that statement.

I read that Hawes imported from Germany, but this one says Made in Italy. I also read they imported a few from Italy. Not a collectors item by any means. valued somewhere between $50-$300. It is mechanically sound so I'll just shoot it and have fun with it. After measuring and looking last...

It says is 36 CAL. NAVY MODEL made in Italy on one side and HAWES FIREARMS CO LOS ANGELES CALIF. Any one know anything about HAWES Firearms Co? I have never heard of them. I will do a search as soon as I get a chance. I am shooting .454 out of my Army. I did not even think to mic it! Duh...
