    Spring forage season.....

    It's hard to believe with single temps in the low teens, and 20mph north winds howling that the spring foraging season is close. The picking of wild edibles is a most pleasurable pastime. I pick baskets of fiddlehead ferns, wild ramps, and several mushrooms each year. How many of you also...

I have hunted solely with bp, but all have been caplocks. I'm really interested in making my first flintlock a smoothbore and proper for...

    The hunt or the kill ?

    For most of us the big game season is over for the year. As I read the comments and congradulations on the successes of the season, a thaught occurred. What is more important to you, the hunt, or the actual procurement of the game? I will be the first to admit that venison of the one or two...

    flint vs. .....?

    Not far from my house is Hogback mtn., in times gone by quartz was mined, and the reminants of knapping sites are easily found to this day. Arrowheads and other tools have been found, and this leads me to my question: what local materials were used in place of flint? What is the reliability?
