    I'm back...

    sorry I've been gone for awhile. started a long time ago, but thought I'd let you know I've returned to spread my wisdom (hopefully) and finely honed sense of humor. Note: I'm not really that narcissistic, but thought the announcement needed a little kick.

    rack or meat?

    Just wondering... amongst the deer/elk/moose/riegndeer/etc. hunters, do you hunt more for, a trophy rack or for meat? Personally, I've always preferred small bucks when possible (or legal, darn them antler restrictions!!) :cursing: :youcrazy: . They seem to taste better. Had one shot at a...

    Interesting bonus

    Well, I went and got my license a few weeks back and put in for my doe permit. Got denied for my first choice of Deer Management Unit (area), and had to pick one I don't normally hunt in (been 5 years in that area). So i've been trying to decide if I should pack up my whole hunt to this area...

    Having been a rifleman pretty much forever.... I've been considering a smooth bore as of late. So I'm seeking some advice..... Under $1000, what would be your choice of make and caliber flintlock? I'm torn between the military musket style (my favorite so far- 1795 Springfield) and a simple...

    Ramrods yet again

    All this ramrod talk has got me thinking. I've seen the steel or iron rods that were supplied with military muskets. And old Hawkens appear to have been constructed with hickory. So my question is this... what was the common material for ramrod construction? What has been verified as used...

    Question to the more experienced hunters..... I have woods behind my house that I hunt bordering an isolated field (75-80 acres surrounded by hardwood forests). These woods of mine are an old christmas tree field with sporadic hardwood trees in the middle and thick hardwoods on the ends. The...

    First flint

    I was just wondering... If you all could peer back through the mists of time and show us what your first flint looked like? I'll start (though I'm not peering that far)... Not PC, I know, but a christmas gift from my wife, and she shoots where I point her (the rifle). :grin: Legion

    Frontier rifle

    Does anyone have any opinions on Pedersoli's Frontier Rifle? Does this seem PC enough for Longhunter, or maybe Militia (pre or post Rev)? How about Pedersoli the company? :confused: :hmm: Any thoughts or observations would be greatly appreciated. Legion

    flint hawken???

    Looking for your opinions.... Eveyone has seen the Hawken rifles made today as replicas (sold by Cabelas, etc.) Aside from the single wedge as opposed to the double wedge to hold the barrel, Are there any other discrepancies you object to? Are you in favor of the style and/or...
