    Teach me about overpowder wads/cards

    Hi guys. My wife is asking about Christmas presents so that renewed my interest in finding a conical bullet to shoot out of my GPR. I posted a thread 2 years ago about it and never got around to buying some molds! I understand the rifling isn't designed for conicals so I might just be wasting...

    Flintlock elk hunt (not mine, but...)

    I follow him on YouTube and was looking forward to that hunt after he didn't get anything on his traditional archery hunt. Excellent video! I plan on doing a similar hunt in the upcoming years and hope I don't get stuck laying down for an hour in -10 degree weather!

    Found some musket caps

    Well after reading the post about no.11 caps finally showing back up, I decided to call the gun shop here in town to see if they have any. They don't have any black powder stuff so I wasn't expecting them to have any. To my amazement they had a bunch of cans of RWS musket caps! He said they just...

    Check your BP suppliers

    I traveled through the neighboring town yesterday for work, which happens to be the only town within 4 hours from me to get black powder. When I read that Goex was closing I bought there remaining 2 pounds. Just for fun I called to see if they had any. To my shock they did! He said his supplier...

    How to miss a grouse

    We call ruffed grouse "fool birds" because they are dumber than heck. I've killed several with just rocks 🤣. It's cool you actually hunt them with dogs. We find them while driving to and from our hunting spots and they are easy pickings

    Specific bullets for cold weather hunting?

    A friend and I are thinking of doing a late season Idaho elk hunt next year. My friend has a buddy who currently does this hunt, and mentioned he makes "special" bullets for when the weather gets below 20 degrees. He only uses them if it will be that cold. Is this a real thing? I don't know if...

    Spot and Stalk Mulie

    Excellent buck! Great story as well! I can relate to the staying awake part. A few years ago I snuck in to 50 yards of a group of elk that were bedded. I tried so hard to stay awake but eventually dozed off and when I woke up the herd was gone 🤦‍♂️.

    My 2020 Oregon Mule deer

    Yeah that winter a few years ago really did damage to the mule deer. Then last year blue tounge wiped out a ton of whitetail! We were in the Flatiron unit. I've never been anywhere near the Fort Rock unit

    My 2020 Oregon Mule deer

    I was lucky enough to put down a nice public land oregon buck in mid-October. I spotted him early on the second morning, and made a plan to get ahead of him as he headed towards where I thought he might be going to bed for the day. I dropped down off my glassing location, and got to where I...
