    Howdy Howdah

    At the risk of thread drift, I would highly recommend Peter Capstick's book, Death in the Silent Places. In this book he tells of Corbett's hunting exploits in a far more colorful manner than Corbett, or other hunter's of his time, did. They wrote in a rather dry Victorian style, and what...

    Lewis and Clark

    Some here may be aware of this, others may not. I learned this morning of a website about the Lewis and Clark Expedition that has about everything written bye Lewis, Clark, and anyone else in the expedition that wrote anything about it. Google Moulton's Journals of the Lewis and Clark...

    making mistakes...but learning

    Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. You aren't going to make a mistake that all of us haven't made, at one time or another.

    New Movie The Revenant?

    True. I watch Jeremiah Johnson, Last of the Mohicans, The Mountain Men, Man In The Wilderness, Northwest Passage and Drums Along The Mohawk every time I get the chance. I would be willing to bet that many forum members here have the dialog to many of those movies down verbatim. I for one don't...

    New Movie The Revenant?

    I was underwhelmed, to say the least. I have seen people walk out of movies because they were too violent, too scary, or gory. Not since I saw The English Patient have I seen people walk out because they said it was too boring. Richard Harris' Man in the Wilderness was much better.

    Best movie fight sceen

    I know it is post 1865, but the bar fight in Treasure of the Sierra Madre is another classic.

    What ae you paying

    The local gunshop is getting $35 a pound. I don't think he sells very much. I get it through my club at $15, buying 25lbs. at a time.

    book on the civil war in the west

    When you say west, do you mean Trans-Mississippi? I could never quite understand why the war south of Virginia was called The Western Theater and the war in the west was called The Trans-Mississippi.

    Best Civil War Movie I've Seen

    The Devil Knows How To Ride(I can't remember the author's name) is an excellant book. If you haven't read it, do so.

    Best movie fight sceen

    Another great fight scene was when Woodrow McCall beat the hell out of the army scout in Lonesome Dove.

    Best movie fight sceen

    Liam Neeson' sword fight scene at the end of Rob Roy. I really didn't think he was going to make it. The fight between the 2 King's Champions in El Cid was another good one, but my all time favorite has to be just about all the fight scene's in The Wind and The Lion, but especially the one where...

    Give Your Heart to the Hawks

    This is the book that started me on my life long love affair with the Fur Trade Era.

    Looking for a Book to Read

    While they don't pertain to muzzleloading, Peter Capstick's books on big game hunting in Africa are classics.

    Sons of a Trackless Forest

    There is just no way I would pay $2000 for that or any other book, even if I had 2 grand with nothing to do with it.

    mountain man books

    Across The Wide Missouri, by Bernard DeVoto is excellent. And this book isn't fiction, but as an incredibly well written history that reads like a novel, try Give Your Heart To The Hawks by Winfred Blivens.

    n.y. youth hunt

    I didn't read your previous post. Silly me. It's a shame. The loss of hunting land is a real problem here. There is a lot of state land, but I never really felt safe hunting there. Too many yahoos. Now the issue is the potgrowers. It is not uncommon to come across booby traps set up during...

    n.y. youth hunt

    What is moving north, the increase in the deer herd? If so, 10-15 years is a very long time. If the lack of interest in hunting and available land is moving north, 10-15 years isn't long enough.

    n.y. youth hunt

    Come on down to Sullivan County. I see road kill every day, and I literally can't think of a single person who hasn't hit a deer with their vehicle in the past few years. I hit 3 in 5 years. I have had 2 friends die because they hit deer with their motorcyles this summer, too. The damn deer are...
