    North Star West Trade Gun With Shot

    A while back I experimented using shot in my North Star West Trade Gun. Our local muzzleloader shop recommended Mike's Quality Shotgun Wads kit to include over powder cards, cushion, and over shot cards. The pattern with #8 shot was quite broad indeed. I'm ready to try again, and would like...

    Diamond Shelters

    Anyone out there using a diamond shelter on their primitve hunts? Was thinking about getting one this spring. Would be interested in seeing some pictures, as well as comments on your favorite set up. Thanks!

    s'no bunnies

    No worries Mike, I have some really great private land to hunt too. I have heard more "war stories" from land owners who have been turned of by other hunters poor behavior than you can shake a stick at. I keep these places to myself as well.

    I took Buford's advise and soaked it in coffee the past 24 hours. Turned out awesome!! I recommend Starbucks French Roast. There has been a lot of other good tips here as well, that I plan on trying later. Thanks guys, for all the help!

    Restoring Bleached Antlers

    That was my first thought, using leather dye. I had some Russet color, which I use often on crafts made of wood. I tried it on another part of the same antler, came out very dark. Maybe a lighter color will work.

    Restoring Bleached Antlers

    Was messing around this morning practicing making antler powder measures with a bleached mule deer antler. It tuned out realy nice, but don't care for the lack of color. Any ideas on how to restore the color? Thanks!

    s'no bunnies

    What gun are you carrying when after them s'no bunnies Mike? Been wanted to do some of that myself. Can a guy use a .54 or .58, or is that too much gun? They are the only two ML rifles I own, and my new smoothbore won't be here until early summer.

    Stump Shooting in the Rockies

    The dog likes the 20 ga. shotgun more than the rifle. He looks for the bird after the shot, but can't find it!

    Stump Shooting in the Rockies

    There is no better practice technique for hunting than stump shooting. Been doing it for years with my longbows, and realized how much fun it is with the flintlock. Wanted to share some pics! http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp178/cdblatner/P1010182.jpg

    Ordered my first smoothbore today!!

    I finally made up my mind, and went with the North Star West NW Trade Gun. Called them up this afternoon and spoke with Matt. He took his time making sure I understood each option, and I learned a bit more about NW Trade guns in the process. He sure sounds like a heck of a nice guy. Knows his...

    1980's Centermark Fusil ?

    I have heard plenty of good things about Centermark Fusils on this forum. I found one that was made in the 1980s by Centermark Inc. out of Pittsburg Pa. Is this the same Centermark that many of you speak about? Thanks

    Northwest Gun - Best BYO kit

    Gents, I am ready to dive head first into bulding my first gun. I am interested in a Northwest gun. Track of the Wolf states it is one of their easiest kits. Any opinions on the TOW, Pecatonica or other quality kits available. I have little experience, so a less complex build would be a...

    Went back home for whitetails

    I have been kicking my butt for years Griz. At the end of my hunt I offered to buy back the gun from Jim. His comment was, "It's always been your rifle." Jim is more into the modern MLs, and has not fired that gun for years. We agreed to leave the gun in NY, giving me another reason to...

    Went back home for whitetails

    Went back home to Western New York state to hunt whitetails for the first time in 24 years. My buddy has a .50 cal Dixie Gunworks Tennessee Mountain Rifle I sold him in 1985, and has not fired the gun in many years. I left my flintlocks at home and used that rifle during the hunt. It was the...
