    Sad Story

    Nothing at all wrong with this story. Some of the folks here describe this as if he guy in the story was hunting over a bait pile, which I am opposed. In fact, the guy went to considerable expense and effort to put in a food plot which is of great benefit to the habitat. For those that...

    son's first hunt

    He will be fine I'm sure. Cherish the time you spend together. If you can, take your son and scout out a few good spots ahead of time to put the boy in. Where he will have the best opportunity to see something. It took me until I was grown to finally figure out that my dad always put me in...

    Ramrods - Wood vs Fiberglass

    Wood is fine for looks and cleaning. But using one for loading or rough use will sooner or later result in a broken rod. After driving a piece of jagged hickory into the side of my hand many years ago resulting in several stiches, I switched to brass. I typically store a wooden rod in the...

    Giving your barrel a blow?

    I'm with Crackstock, your mouth and head does not belong over the muzzle of any weapon. I have seen used a tube with a rubber cork on the end that fits neatly in the muzzle and then a "puff" in the tube clears the barrel. I would think that is much safer if you wanted to clear the barrel. I...

    Traditional Hunters in Michigan, it's our time...

    Fee for doe tags went from 7 to 10 dollars and I'm not particularily happy about the fee increase, but given the financial ruin the state is in, I was expecting some sort of an increase as the State has dramatically reduced funding for the DNR. So the DNR has little choice but to raise fees...

    Traditional Hunters in Michigan, it's our time...

    :: I'm not grinning at you Smitty, the something for everyone concept has been described on several occassions with harsh critical rhetoric from the traditional only ML season bunch (In truth, really just a few with axes to grind from outside Michigan with big opinions for Michigan). We don't...

    ML Season Support Options

    Articap made an excellent observation on the last traditional support base thread. Maybe there just needs to be a clear distinction made between the 2 different strategies: Option 1. Working to ban non-traditional muzzle loaders and/or components by redefining all current regulations to some...

    Maximum loads

    Two different loads in my view: 1) Large and/or Dangerous Game Hunting 2) Targeting/Plinking/Small Game For large and or dangerous game hunting purposes with only one shot, I always load up towards the maximum MFG recommeded load while still maintaining accuracy. If the max allowable says...

    Traditional ML Season Support Base.

    Mule Brain, I'm not arguing with you but just because TG did not PM you does not mean you did not hi-jack the thread. :shocking: On-track? I have followed this thread very closely. This thread (was) discussion topic regarding support and thoughts for a new (additional) ML season with...

    Rum...the PC libation. What do y'all recommend?

    What parts to use???

    Venison Heart and Liver? You bet! :thumbsup: Heart: I've cooked the heart several different ways... From simply slicing it into 2-4 sections and then salt, pepper and on to a roasting spit over a fire. Or, stuffed with mushrooms and garlic and baked at 325 for an hour. Or, chopped seasoned...

    Looking for new rifle with light recoil....

    I've been using the PAST Super Mag Plus since they first came out and it works excellent for the most violent recoil I endure which is from a Barrett 50 BMG. For bench shooting and or load development: PAST - Super Mag Plus Recoil Shield...

    Traditional ML Season Support Base.

    Actually Mule Brain, you hi-jacked TG's thread with your point. You may wish to review the entire thread, particularily TG's initial and subsequent posts and then determine if your post is relevant. Up to you, I think you are off in the weeds as far as this thread goes. Also, upper caps is...

    American pioneer pwder

    I'm told APP or other synthetics will not work reliably in flintlocks unless you also use Black Powder 4FG as a "pre-charge". Although synthetic powders work excellent in percussion ignitions, for flint it's a different animal. Hodgdon which makes Pyrodex and 777 synthetic substitutes...
