Gentlemen and Ladyhawks. I am happy to be part of your group. I am a hunter and a Soldier but new to the world of muzzleloaders. I recently moved to Fairbanks Alaska from Kansas, and before I left an old timer gave me a beautiful Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle, .50 cal and told me it belonged in the woods and not on his wall, and to kill something in Alaska with it. I fully intend to make that happen! I have many questions that I will post in a different section but for now let me say thanks to the traditionalists who keep the spirit and romanticism alive for the younger generation to follow. Being an Infantryman I have all the latest and greatest stuff which I am usually thankful for while roaming the mountains of Afghanistan. But nothing makes me happier when hunting to have a single shot and a bag full of possibles hanging around my neck.

Welcome to Fairbanks. There are quite a few like minded folks up here, and we're usually quite agreeable. You'll find most of 'em with the Midnight Sun Muzzleloaders and more with the Coalition of Historical Trekkers. Again, welcome to town, and if you get cold, you're welcome to pull up a log to my fire.
