    Best Sling

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that I do not want to drill into my stock. That would have worked out perfect if I wasn't so picky.

    gut shot with a round ball

    My .02 A round ball would 99.9% be a pass through shot, especially on a gut shot deer. The round ball would do what I would call "standard" damage as it will not expand like a center fire rifle bullet that is designed to expand and cause more damage on soft tissue. Like most have said, stay...

    Buck vs doe

    Sorry, I didn't read every reply. My findings on taste is what they feed on. I have shot deer in every corner of ND and found that the ones that feed off of corn and sunflowers seem to be better tasting than the ones that mainly feed off of grass, small saplings and sage. I also think that deer...

    Lyman GPR and Trade rifles?

    When you say adjustable sights are you talking about the dove tail sights that can be slid back and forth or the elevation adjustment sights?

A minor rear sight adjustment and I have her shooting 2-3" groups at 50 yards. I took a buck with last weekend at right around 60 yards...

    Leaving musket loaded

    I am from the eastern side. Was hunting southeast of Stump Lake. I used to bow hunt the western side every year for a week. The oil boom has detoured me from coming out there. I want to come out there and spring turkey hunt with my musket though.

    Leaving musket loaded

    Thanks guys. I am using black powder. I was planning on leaving my rifle in the pickup overnight to help with the condensation part. I am so pumped on hunting with my Lyman Trade Rifle this year. I haven't rifle hunted in 10 years due to lost the excitement of shooting with a scoped center...

    Leaving musket loaded

    This is my first season hunting with a musket. Do you fire (empty) your musket at the end of each day (hunt) and then reload before going into the bush each time? I hunt in ND and our temps can vary quite a bit during early season. Is there worry about condensation from warm to cold, cold to...
