    CO M/L Deer

    Just got back (on Saturday) from 7 glorious days of ML hunting. Every year the shock to my system that comes from forcing myself into the grind of working life gets harder....but enough of that. On to the fun stuff. Holy moly, it was crowded. Never seen it like that before. I got kind of...

    San Diego Late M/L doe

    I figured I would share my season with you all. I love reading other reports, and this year was kind of eventful, so here goes: I took it right down to the wire and filled my second tag this year on the afternoon of the last day! :grin : It has really struck me that the lesson the Lord is...

    San Deigo Deer hunt "journal"

    I had planned on doing a cronicle of my local San Diego deer seasons so that I could show that not all of us out here in the land of fruits and nuts are not ultra liberal, vegan, anti-everything-fun, wackos who can't mind their own business. As it turns out, however,this first rifle season...

    Yah..new Tip Curtis rifle!!

    Hello, I spoke to Tip this Friday and immediately dropped a check in the mail for a new rifle!! .58 cal, 38" barrel, "lancaster" style. It is stained, but otherwise in "the White". Top say I am excited is an understatement. My wife asked me what I wanted to do for my 40th (wow that is hard...

    Help me with a 2013 elk hunt

    Hello, I want to give it another try for elk in 2013. I went solo for my first hunt last year, and I must say, it was quite a daunting experience. That said, I now want even more to go again and get back after it!!! I was thinking of trying unit 15 for the ML season in CO. Packing in a...

    persistence pays out blessings

    I thought I would share: Man, what a tough year. I hunted the heck out of the regular fall rifle season (with the ML of course)this year. Even though it was really hot and really crowded, and I ate tag soup, I actually had a great season. I think I put in 12 days of hunting, which ya just...

    Good afternoon, I took my new .50 flinter out today to shoot for the first time. It has the siler deluxe lock on it fresh from the box. I thought I would throw out a couple questions that I had on my mind to all of you "experts". I had a great time by the way.....these flinters are cool...

    Montana Land Questions

    Hello, I am looking at a couple properties to purchase, one of which is in MT. It will be something that I can escape to for hunting each year, but not much else. I am NOT going to be bringing CA with me, if that worries anyone, I'm trying to get away from CA as much as I can.... :surrender...

    need some Kasenit

    I need to harden one frizzen. I'm having a heck of a time doing it. It won't spark at all. I was going to try Kasenit, but everywhere I call is out, because they apparently have gone under. Anybody want to sell enough for one frizzen?

    "We Shall Remain"

    I just watched the multi-pat series of the name above. Its from Ken Burns, who almost always makes great stuff. It basically cronicles, in a kind of disjointed way, the experiences of Native cultures in north america from Jamestown to today. I say disjointed only because it is not a cronolgy...

    Marquis de Lafayette

    I caught a Documentary from PBS last night on Netflix about the life of the Marquis de Lafayette. I had only ever heard the name and new that he was involved in the Revolution here prior to this. I was really impressed with the show and the man. Interesting felloow - it went into considerable...

    1830-1850 hunting pouch pattern?

    Hello, What would be appropriate for a fur company employee / camp keeper to have as his personal hunting pouch? I have some brain tan, and want to see what patterns are appropriate. It would seem that a simple bag - a long length of hide sewed up to form the pouch with the rest as the flap -...

    Couple pics from the western adventure

    Some may remember my Colorado elk hunt/wyoming antelope hunt two week adventure (I bugged everyone with a lot of questions)....I've been back for about 6 weeks, and am finally getting to posting some results. The elk hunt was an education to say the least! No elk, but I'd say there were easily...

    NW gun trigger pull help

    morning, I finished a NW gun from a TOTW kit earlier this summer. Is it normal for these type of guns to have a very heavy trigger pull? It is 7-8 ponds. I pinned the trigger as high as I could and have polished the sear and trigger. It just does not seem "right". Maybe I am applying a...
