    Alaska Fish and Game People are very nice!

    As the owner or co-owner of three small business with a combined sales of $800,000 I can say that when a customer posts a positive review, whether on YELP, Google, facebook, instagram, etc... it means the world to small business owners. Awesome to hear that they were pleasant. I have a few...

    Electrical tape/muzzle forensics

    I have shot probably 200 shots from my muzzleloader over the past 5 years with electrical tape over the muzzle while practicing for elk hunts. There is zero ballistic issues out to 200 yards when pushing a .458 bullet at 1900 fps. Same POI, same trajectory, same everything. Every time the...

    Camper must have's

    If I was building a camper from a hauling trailer I would make sure there was an awning over the door, if $$$ allowed, being able to "wall" it in with tarps. I like keeping my hunting clothes outside and not having to bring them in saves room. Set up some type of coat rack. Plus being able...

    cease fire....

    We have moved 8 times in 15 years of marriage... I always used our camper/fifth wheel to move the "essentials". You would be surprised at how many milk crates of ammo/bullets/brass/primers/powder etc.. can fit in the underbelly of a fiver. Too bad I lost all mine in a tragic boating accident...

    Camofire is dead to me

    Sorry to hear about that. I have bought a ton off Camofire over the years. Nothing in the last 6 months, but never an issue. Hopefully they will make it right. I love their merino underwear and Tees.. without streaks.

    Knives - Show Me

    Couple that I have made. This is my go to knife when in the field. 8670 steel with micarta. Light, sharp as Heck. I have currently sold 8 of these in the USA and in a short 18 months they have been used on Elk, Barbary Sheep, Whitetail, Mulies, Coues, Alaskan Brown Bear, Blacktails, feral...

    1st rifle

    So I have some recent experience in this. My two oldest daughters are 11 and 13. They have been shooting a model 70 in 243win for three years. Youth stock. I reload so I have loaded reduced recoil loads with 95 grain Ballistic Tips and H4895. On top of that, I have them wear a PAST pad on...

    Muzzleloader Velocities

    Edit to my above post as I found my range notes from when I was testing the load mentioned above. It was NOT 1850, but 1937. Smoking hot and accurate.

    Cleaning Muzzy, how often?

    With Blackhorn I don't even use patches unless I am putting it up for the year. I just run a 50cal boresnake with solvent, but that is after 15 shots or so on the range. I wouldn't worry about the moisture. I have left mine loaded for a week before during CO's early muzzy mulie hunt and it...

    Who Processes Their Own Game

    I also run a Kitchen Aid ( wedding present 15 years ago) and it has ground a couple hundred pounds of venison (elk,whitetail, pronghorn). Yes you have to take some time and let it cool down a bit if ran too long, but it gets the job done for me. If my daughters stop dropping deer every year...

    Muzzleloader Velocities

    I run Black Horn and a 350 gr Kodiak or Speer Hot core out of a 28inch TC and I have chrono'd my load at 1850. I would think 1750-1800 is about right.

    Why are hot tents so expensive?

    I run a Jimmy Tarps Hudson. 320 or something. Picked up a Lite Outdoors stove of ebay and used some Tyvek for a floor. Tyvek I ran in the washer and dryer a few times to quiet it. Worked great for what I used it for. Stove was used to warm up after getting back to camp and in the morning to...

    What Bino harness are you running

    I run the Horn Hunter bino Harness since 2014 and really like it. The main pouch stays tight to your chest, it has both a hook/loop system and a magnet for the range finder, and pockets on the other side for anything. For my 15x56's I usually pack those in my MR daypack on top of the crew cab...

    Rifled slug gun recommendation for MA?

    You can't go wrong with a slug version 870. Affordable and super reliable. The muzzleloader route is also a smart choice as well. When I was living/hunting in Ohio ( prior to the straight wall rifle introduction) I used a Benelli M190 slug version and a M190 smoothbore version. I was...

    ...

    What a great story man! Congrats to you both. This is just the sort of hunt my 11 year old daughter wants to go on in a bad way. Nice rifle too. Transition pre 64. Great chambering as well.

    Hornady FPBs

    Yep they shoot very well in my TC Omega. It is my go to load for Colorado. While I have not shot anything with them, my partner has harvested a very mature mulie and a monster Coues buck with them. No issues at all.

    Breech Plug Lubrication

    Never thought to go with Super Lube. I have been using a tube of "Gorilla Grease" that I have had for probably 15 years. It is purple and I believe TC was pushing it years ago.
