    CVA Express

    I took a chance, and bought this for an ok price on GunBroker. The seller didn't know much about it, but the pictures, especially the bore pictures, showed an overall decent condition. I've always wanted a Pedersoli safari express .72, but can't find an affordable used one. (If anyone has one...

    Bison

    I was happy with the speed he went down. There was a lot of damage to the lungs. I did lose some shoulder meat, for sure. The bullets did not pass thru (except the one behind the ear). He is at the packer hanging right now, so I haven't recovered the bullets yet, and cannot tell the extent of...

    Bison

    What a great day! The herd spotted us from quite a distance. There were about 60. This bull was part of a group of 3 that were off to the side. They were skittish and suspicious, but we got to about 50 yards. First shot broke the shoulder, he hunched up and tried to run but failed. The second...

    Bison

    Just crossed the Mississippi into Iowa. Never seen it before. Really cool to see a river that had such a huge part in our past. It was a heckuva drive, but we made it. It's really beautiful here. Saw a nice bull bison on the way into the reservation. Can't wait for the morning. The guide is...

    Fouling your barrel.

    I snap the caps because I'm paranoid about oil. I'll try a few range sessions with just a swab or two before I shoot

    Fouling your barrel.

    Who fouls their barrel before hunting? If you do, do you use caps, or a squib load? I like to snap 3 caps before I load for the hunt.

    Bison

    The heart / lung is the largest target. I'm not comfortable with as small a target as the brain. I've heard of the shoulder shot, but again, seems like the lungs are an easier target for a first time bison hunter. I will look into it a little more. Thanks!

    On a side note, no offense to anyone in NYC! Just playing around.

    Hi from New York

    Not from anywhere near NYC!!! ;) I've been traditional muzzleloader hunting for about 6 years. I love my Lyman stainless Deerstalkers (have 2), and my Traditions Deerhunter. Hope to learn a lot here!

    Bison

    Has anyone here shot a bison? I drew a bull tag for a Sioux reservation in South Dakota. The hunt is October 14th. I'll be shooting my Lyman Deerstalker with 80gr of 777 under a felt wad and a 460gr No Excuses. Heart / lung only. Guide said we will probably be able to get within 70 yards this...
