    PA 2023 Flintlock season

    I went out today for the first time this season. Just as I was about to leave my daughter, Son and wife all said they wanted to go along. I'm always happy when they want to hunt. So we did a family outing. My wife and son sit together and me and my daughter sit together. Seen 1 deer to far...

    Traditional Pennsylvania hunt in the late season - anyone?

    I would love to do it, unfortunately I just read the posts and I'm doing a squirrel hunt competition on Saturday. I'm the only one using a muzzleloader.

    Dye muzzleloader medal

    So I was at a trapping school today. They were showing different ways to dye traps. The one method was I believe called speed dye or something close to that. It came out a nice brown color. Has anyone tried that or one of the other methods to finish the metal on a muzzleloader. It seems...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I went on the search for number 11 caps. I went to a local Amish store and they had a bunch. So I bought 300. It's a funny store. During the ammo shortage he still had ammo. It's always more expensive then anywhere else but he had it.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    For what ever reason I always thought that was a big no no for a muzzleloader. That would kind of explain an experience I had. I was gifted a traditions flintlock. It was composite stock and cheap as cheap could be. It came in a blister pack with everything but powder. I think I seen them...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Thanks for the reply. My guess was for accuracy but didn't know. The whole time I was thinking that doing that for your hunting muzzleloader would be a pain.

    2nd day at the range with my Crockett

    Its funny I spent years almost being anti anything that wasn't flintlock. The 32 cal crockett has changed every for me. It's absolutely crazy how fun it is. They are such an addictive caliber. I'm hoping to get to the range tomorrow before I take my dad to treatment. Shooting definitely...
