Upstate NY Muzzleloader

[tommygun]

Hi folks,
The name is Tom and I wanted to join up and share some BP experience with people.
I have built a couple rifles and a few BP pistols. I am going to attempt a Pietta kit gun, 1851 navy in .36 caliber.
Her is a picture of a couple guns I made and hunt with.

Greetings from soggy central Pa. Those are some nice ML's you built. What part of NY are you from? Seems everyone call anything north of NYC as upstate NY.

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina. Left Western New York over 25 years ago, but still get a week or two of hunting in there every year.

Fellow Upstate NYer here. Welcome aboard. Fun, informative site.
3setters... pretty much anything outside of the City is considered Upstate...we generally disown it, but there are alot of sticklers who consider any part of NY west of the Hudson Upstate.

Welcome !!! Those are really nice muzzle loaders!!! I guess me being in Putnam County would be considered a "Down State'r " to you guys. Funny though the city people always consider me an Upstate'r. Raised and always use to live in Rockland County never in are next to the City. Either way I'm far enough away from the NYC Metro area and have no desire to ever visit, its a total mess! Anyway back to you....WELCOME fellow NY'er!!!

We were camping at the Glen State Park this weekend until the deluge hit. Visited a very nice gun shop on rt. 14 on the way home. Good inventory of firearms but not much in muzzle loaders.

Seen any gypsy moths this year...

Lived in NY for better part of 5 decades, worked for the state for lot of those years. Grew up in the finger lakes area when farming was the main industry, mostly all gone now because of taxes. The state is nothing like it was one reason I left. As to what is upstate it starts in the
poughkeepise area north and west. NYC has trashed the state with their control of everything that happens in NY state.
Welcome aboard before I forget
