    Pheasant hunt with 150 year old English Muzzleloader.

    Hey guys, my wife and I recently finished our latest video where I used my original 11ga double shotgun on a pheasant hunt. This shotgun may have some age on it, but it sure knows how to hammer the birds! Please check out the video when you get the chance. Enjoy...

    59 yard flintlock squirrel

    Thanks everyone for the kind words, we are happy you guys enjoyed it. My wife and I enjoy making videos together and we would like to continue to produce them. As for the jag trick, that simply came out of necessity more then anything else. I had a patch stuck in the barrel and I was...

    special deer

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I would say it was a really nice start to this rifle's hunting career. I have not been shooting my muzzleloaders much the last few years as life has been getting in the way. I just finished college and I intend to get back into shooting a lot more. I hope...

    special deer

    Hello everyone, I have a tale to tell of a wonderful deer hunt. It was the late muzzleloader season of the 2014-15 Ohio deer season. It was Friday afternoon and the temperatures were quite nice, with highs in the mid 40s. Everything felt right and I knew it was going to be a nice evening. For...

    Big Hogs with Roundballs

    I took a 200 pound boar last year with a 54 cal pedersoli pistol and a roundball. I used 60 grains of goex FFF. I had a complete pass through, now granted I had stalked to within 12 yards for the shot :wink: . This boar only went 15 yards and fell. I have also taken a very large hog(500+...

I dont know if I will be able to get a bear with the muzzleloader or not. The horrible weather conditions worry me about the chances the gun wont go off. If i am forced to...

    Moose hide tanning

    truthfully while brain tanning is the traditional way, the easiest and best way would be with using a modern day tanning kit. liquatan is a very very good tanning oil and is the stand-by for many taxidermists. the newest tanning oil out is pro-1. it is claimed to be even better then liqua tan...

    Groundhog Hunting Tips???

    I have had very good success on groundhogs using a few different methods. the one i do most is spot and stalk. the difficulty will be the terrain of the country and how much hunting pressure the groundhogs have. it is easiest with terrain that has woods or rolling hills that you can use in your...

    "Under the skin..."

    I've had pass thru's on almost all of mine. Even the big boar with the pistol was a pass thru. I shot a button buck at 115 yards with my pedersoli 50 cal with 90 grains ff and it also passed thru. Only had a squirrel and 1 deer not pass thru. Deer was head on at 30 yards. I shot it in the...
