    Is there a current shortage of black powder arms?

    Had a hard time finding #11 caps the other day. Found a good supply at a local shop and almost wiped them out. I left a few tins behind so I wasn't "that guy"...

    Been a while...

    Hey everyone! You probably haven't noticed but I haven't been around the site much lately. Lots of going on to say the least...

    I'm always the guy that has never had good luck with Hot Shot nipples on my Cabela's rifle. I get the most reliable ignition with the nipples from the Lyman website, CCI Magnum #11 caps, and real BP. I've got a couple Hot Shot nipples sitting in my box if you want them...

    First Alabama buck

    No, the place you're talking about is about 1.5 hours south of me. I've e-scouted it but haven't put boots on the ground there yet. Looks really promising though and it is only open to archery, muzzleloader, and shotgun hunting.

    First Alabama buck

    I'm also confident that he died quickly based on the amount of blood in the cavity and it was clear he didn't thrash around or anything where he was laying. It was just difficult for me to see exactly where he went after the shot since there were multiple deer and, ya know, smoke. Here's a...
