    Powder or no powder?

    And one last question. Of course "last" is a relative term. If I don't take a shot during the hunt it sounds like I can leave my barrel charged (no cap of course). How long is it ok to leave that way? There are times it might be a couple of weeks before I hunt again.

    Powder or no powder?

    Lot of really good info everyone. I am particular about cleaning. I think I'll go with popping a cap or two for piece of mind. And I can do that in the garage before I leave the house.

    Powder or no powder?

    Though a long time bow hunter this is my first season in many years with black powder. Is it correct I should pop a cap or two prior to actually charging the barrel? Should I add a little powder or just a cap? I don't want to make that much noise in the woods when going on a hunt. If I don't...

    Grandsons first harvest!

    Years from now he will look at his children and his grandchildren and say, "my grandpa taught me this". Sweet memories for you both.

    Hunting from a Climbing Stand

    I never hunt from any stand without a harness. Even when climbing up and down my harness is wrapped around the tree. It does take longer but I'm a bit of a safety nut when it come to things that cause pain. Remember: it's not the fall that kills. It's the sudden stop at the end.

    Hunting from a Climbing Stand

    Just for you Jack got the user name corrected. That's what I get for joining a forum while in a deer stand bow hunting. :idunno:

    Hunting from a Climbing Stand

    /quote] No problem, just pulling your leg. P.S. It's Hawken, singular. :wink: I was wondering what that strange sensation was. :shocked2:

    Hunting from a Climbing Stand

    Agreed. Will pull the gun up with a cord. The carrier is so I don't drop it once I'm seated.

    Hunting from a Climbing Stand

    Sorry about the Hawkens spelling. Like I said, its been years. Now to figure out how to change my user name. I am a long time bow hunter so tree stands aren't new to me. I have a gun carrier (like what you would have on an ATV) on my stand for ease and safety. And it does sound like I need to...

    Hunting from a Climbing Stand

    Hey everyone, First let me say Hi. I just recently got back into muzzle loading and am real happy I found this site. I strictly shoot black powder and lead ball. Although I have shot muzzle loaders for years this will be the first time deer hunting with my Hawkins. I do know NEVER to cap the...
