    Made some meat today

    Nearly each morning I park my truck about 3 to 4 miles from work and walk the 6 to 8 mile round trip journey as a means of exercise for both the body and mind. I find it a great way to start the day as well as end it. Well this morning while gathering the kids together to take them to school...

    Rice Barrel Breach Removal?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but can anyone tell me "if, and how the breach plug on my brand new 58 caliber swamped Rice barrel can be removed". It appears as if there are no seams between the breach end of the barrel and the tang? When I called and asked Chambers they said to put the barrel in...

    Vermont Round Ball Buck

    Woke up at deer camp on opening morning of rifle season, and as always, I grabbed my 50 caliber Hawken and headed out into the hardwoods of Vermont. Needless to say I took my fair share of ribbing from the guys at camp but look who came back to camp with "the Bacon". Definitely the best deer of...

    Starting them young

    Just thought you guys might enjoy seeing pictures of my 5 year old son Aiden participating at the Southern Vermont Primitive Biathlon. As far as he was concerned, he was shooting his toy rifle just like everyone else at the firing line. He and I spent a couple of nights before the event...

    This past fall I took my second coyote ever with my 50 caliber Hawken however both times I was still hunting for deer and just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Since then I have gone into the woods numerous times to try calling in the elusive eastern coyote but have been...

    Smoothbore found in PA barn

    A friend of mine contacted me about a percussion smoothbore he found in his family barn in PA. He said his 75 year old uncle remembers seeing it when he was a boy but it's obviously older than that. Apparently there are no identifiable marks on the gun so I figured I would post some photos to...

    Making meat on the last day.

    Finally after a full season of only seeing two deer, it all came together on the last morning of the Vt. muzzle season. Sat for 2 hours on a cold morning 14 degrees with a crust covered crunchy snow on the ground. There was no option for my preferred method of still hunting; or at least I...

    No Vt, deer but still trying

    Just thought I would post a picture of my snow covered primitive hunt on opening day of the Vermont muzzle season. With all the in-liners out there I promised the wife I would wear orange so I made the waistcoat just in time for the season. An experienced tailor I am not but it does the job. I...

    Anyone interested in a eastern PA hunt?

    Anyone interested in joining me for a flintlock only deer hunt in the Delaware State Forest region this coming season? I am planning a trip between x mass and new years and the wife is insisting that I not hunt alone. My usual hunting partner unfortunately can't make it this year. It will be a...

    Conn. River Canoe trek?

    Last year I remember hearing about a canoe trek down the Conn. River which divides New Hampshire from Vermont for those of you that are not from these parts. I was wondering if anyone had any info regarding this event. I believe it was in September last year.

    44 cal and white tails?

    I just picked up a 44 caliber Italian flinter and I was thinking about using it during the late PA Flintlock season. It meets PA's minimal caliber laws but will it have what it takes to drop a good deer at 50 yards? Anyone have any insight?

    Wouldn't have it any other way

    For the past 7 or so years I have been hunting, by choice, with either my smoothbore trade gun or 50 cal. Hawken and I have yet only taken 1 deer. My results are not due to a lack of effort,or lack of opportunities. In fact I had a wonderful opportunity two days ago that I figured I would...

    What a great time of year

    Well Vt. rifle season starts this coming weekend and as always, I will be hunting with my 50 caliber Hawken. Sure I will once again hear the ribbing from my center fire buddies for taking out my smoke pole but that's fine with me. My only question is whether of not to hunt in the valley where...
