    Wisconsins Muzzleloader season or lack of.

    That is what we have in VA, ML season before regular Firearms season. Wow is it nice with the peak of rut being in ML season. After Christmas or after firearms season is not good, because the deer are all wary and scared and it is a lot more difficult in snow with a ML, early November is...

    Low Cost Tree Stands for Hunting

    Thanks. Try it, it is not hard and I leave them up year around, so once they are up you are good to go. So your friend's hooks on the tree or is it in a Y-tree? If it is not in a Y-tree, it is pretty unsafe to me. These stands are rock solid, I am 240 lbs on a light day and I have never had a...

    Need Advice on a Elk Muzzleloader

    Forget the PowerBelts for elk. They don't penetrate. I did a lot of testing on this subject last year, see: http://www.the-gleasons.com/bullets_penetration_tests_for_mu.htm Chap Gleason

    Low Cost Tree Stands for Hunting

    I took a bunch of pictures of my "system" for cheap tree stands, about $10 each. They are safe and easy, not heavy. The down side--they have to go in a Y-tree. See here: http://www.the-gleasons.com/low_cost_tree_stands_for_hunting.htm I hope this is helpful to the forum. Chap Gleason

    DEER SEASON!

    In Va it is first Monday in the month, for two weeks then rifle season for two weeks in the whole state. In the county I live in rifle season is 7 weeks, so you hunt ML all of November and all of December, we have 3 buck tags and unlimited doe. You must be selective of your bucks or you limit...

    Recommendations for first flinter

    Rebel, I am sorry. I was at your Flintlock campfire, and spoke out of place. I didn't realize I was in the flintlock, honest mistake. I saw the link from the "Main Index", clicked into the thread and then forgot where I was. I feel kind of foolish now, so I will just shut up. Thanks for the...

    Recommendations for first flinter

    Roundball, OK. I didn't see that, but if you know him, that is good enough for me. Thanks. Chap Gleason

    Recommendations for first flinter

    Rat, Let me pile on here a bit, 'cause you pushed back on 'bring side' indicating you didn't get it. That is the problem, you said "the dark side", so that means you think in your heart that people who shoot "modern" or non-flint or non round ball are in some way un-elighten, not heading...

    American Pioneer Powder vs 777 vs BlackMag'3

    BS, That is true for me. I have hunted all my life but only with rifle and compound bow. I bought an in-line 6 years ago, because the owner of the store where I checked my deer sold ML and said they were as accurate as rifles at 100 yards and he had shot a doe 220 yards. I didn't initially...

    American Pioneer Powder vs 777 vs BlackMag'3

    This picture is of AM Pioneer Powder shot thru 13" of pack TopSoil in a 5 gallon bucket, simulates expansion thru muscle and flesh, but not bone. http://www.the-gleasons.com/tcshockwave.htm I was shooting 100g, at 25 yards--so I wouldn't miss the 5 gallon bucket. I like APP so far, but I...
