have wifi in your stand? I have a back yard stand where I am able to connect. Just saying. Not sure if it qualifies as a real hunt if you have wifi contact.

It was Wednesday and I am still on the school vacation week. I arose before ole Sol appeared in the eastern sky and decided to bowhunt my own land near the border of a refuge. I have a nice pop up blind and so sat for some time. To make a long story short nothing but some birds and squirrels...

This has been a tough year for my wife and I. Between a layoff, her dad having cancer and then on Fathers Day my Dad passed away things have been very tough to deal with. So much of my time has been spent with Mom and dealing with the aftermath plus I will admit that Dad was my best friend and...

The alarm woke me with the sound of static in the wee hours of the morning. As with many things the early bird catches the worm or in this case the turkey hunter catches the bird. I downed some isotonix vitamin powder and a power bar for breakfast. Grabbed my large satchel which contains all...

This past Saturday I arose at 355 AM to the tune of some country artist. I grabbed a bite and two cups of coffee to revive my senses. Donned my permethryn infused clothes and I was headed to my spot. When I arrived it was somewhat light out. I heard three gobblers to the southeast of my...

Hello all: I wish I could post an image of a nice fork horn or eight pointer I have on a trail camera but I don't . Today after work I dressed in my hunting clothes, day pack ad TC Contender 50 caliber inline muzzleloader. I had my wife spray me down with scent killer as I walked out the back...

The sound of the clock radio to some country music artist awoke me from my slumber. After a cup from the Keurig and donning my obligatory wool pants and orange coat I was out the door. About twenty five minutes later I arrived at my spot. I walked northward along the property edge to my...

I managed to get out of work early by an hour so I headed home and got ready to go hunt the afternoon with the muzzleloader. My wife's vehicle is malfunctioning and after all I tried to do in order to fix it failed. So we had to have it towed to the auto mechanic. I stayed at the house until it...

Today was a washout for the most part. Rain,rain and more rain. So I elected to hunt on my own land in a pop up blind I pitched this past September. I know that on my trail camera I have some does as well as one three point and one eight point buck going through the area. I was hoping to...

Although I see a lot in print and the net regarding the use of the 50 caliber muzzleloaders on wild boar I would like some perspective on the use of the 45 calibers. I have a .45 caliber G2 Contender barrel that I may want to use for feral hogs. What has been your experience with the 45 on...

A while back I bought a FoxPro Spitfire remote controlled electronic caller. The original purpose is to hunt varmints like coyotes in my home area. I know that you can get chips and download different sounds onto the device. I recall seeing some for wild hog. I was wondering if anyone has used...

Hello All: I have been away for a bit. We bought a home in Connecticut and my parents sold their home and downsized so to speak. So the past year has been ups and downs with all kinds of things going on. Tomorrow will be the opening day of the Massachusetts shotgun season. You can use inline...

Hello all. This February we're heading to Florida for some vacation time. I plan to do some wild boar hunting but I would appreciate any help in this department. I have searched extensively on the net for guides and outfitters and it can be daunting to wade through them all. I Any suggestions...

Today Dad and I were chatting on the tailgate of my truck and the topic of hunting came up. I was thinking of going on a combination deer and wild hog hunt somewhere in the southeast. I did some internet searches and quite a few people offer such hunts in South Carolina, Georgia as well as...

I have searched the internet for manufacturers of sabots and it seems that there is a focus on the use of 44 or 45 caliber pistol bullets for the .50 caliber muzzleloader and the .40 caliber for the 45 caliber muzzleloader. I am wondering why no one has made a sabot for the 41 caliber bullet...

The other day I made a trade for a Thompson Center G2 .45 caliber muzzleloading barrel. They are somewhat scarce these days so I jumped at the chance to grab it. The barrel is 24 inches and has a straight profile of sorts. In the near future I plan to have it cut to 16 1/4 inches so I can use...

Yesterday the wife and I were out and about when we took a detour to the local gun shop. The plan is to have my Encore 50 caliber barrel cut down to 16 1/8 inches so it can be used as a specialty pistol or carbine. The forend will be cut and thinned downed. The sight may be an Aimpoint or a 2x...

Saturday, March 6, 2010 Florida Hunt The past deer season has been rough. In fact, the past two deer seasons have been rough to say the least. This is one of the longest stretches when our families went without any venison. As a rule we would take two to four deer per season. We had a real...

I have a factory 26" blued Encore .50 caliber barrel and have contemplated shortening it to 16 1/4" . I intend to use in a handgun form for the upcoming season and wondered if anyone else has used such a set up? Thanks

Last week I bought a new in the box Thompson Center Black Mountain Magnum 12 guage shotgun with a full turkey choke for a good price. I didn't have a chance to shoot it until today. After the May meeting of the club I took the TC 12 guage Black Mountain magnum to the pistol range were we can...
