    I Let A Yote Escape

    The only time I've encountered coyotes in the last 20+ years I've been carryig one of my flint rifles. I have never even been able to get a shot off at them before they knew I was there & started making their exit from the area. :cursing: One of these days though, one of these days....

    I can't contain myself!

    I know how you feel. :metoo: Last fall, I found a roosting area that is so heavily used that you can't walk thru without stepping on droppings. There are a few trees that you have a hard time even seeing the ground under them because it's so covered with turkey droppings! :shocked2: I...

    Peep sights for hunting?

    I've got a peep on one of my muzzleloaders. It's my percussion .54 T/C Renegade. I had no problem getting my sights on quick when this guy showed up.... a long time ago.

    1858 by Ruger?

    A friend of mine has two stainless 1858's made by Ruger that he wants to sell. He has never been able to give me a price on these. What would be a fair value?

    What size balls?

    I was kind of thinking that I probably need .310 balls for the .32 with tick patches. Even that seems kind of tight when you add .310+.15+.15 (patch material on each side of ball)=.340 in a .32 barrel. But I was hoping to get some feedback from others with experience with these T/C barrels. I...

    What size balls?

    I want to get supplies for my "new to me" T/C Cherokee & just want to see what size balls you're all using in them. The T/C info that I found online says to use: .315 round balls for .32 caliber .440 balls for .45 caliber The info chart didn't say what thickness patches these ball sizes are...

    T/C Cherokee collectible

    Wow! I just bought a collectable "RARE" :grin: Cherokee yesterday. It came with .32 & .45 caliber barrels. I got it to have a small caliber squirrel gun & the .45 was kind of a bonus. After reading this thread, I'm thinking that maybe I should list it for sale & use the profit to get my...

    Two and a half weeks to go & I'm getting anxious!

    I haven't been on the forum in quite a while because of my work schedule (75-80+ hour weeks) this year. I also haven't gotten the trigger time that I had planned to be ready for my Newfoundland moose hunt. My work load has finally let up, but I leave for the hunt on the 18th of October. I have...

    Single or set trigger for deer gun

    I've got both & any more, my guns with set triggers stay in the cabinet during hunting season. I had more than one experience with the set triggers becoming a problem while wearing gloves & trying to get a shot off at a deer. As stated, it's one more thing to have to do when the opportunity is...
