    Knight T-Bolt Rifle?

    I own a bunch of Knights now but the t-bolt was my first. Bought it new at Bass Pro in Orlando a long time ago. The bolt assembly is unique. Mine takes a bare 209 primer. I killed a few deer with it after first getting it. I still have it but haven’t shot it in years.

    When do your Bucks Shed their Antlers?

    My brother got his Iowa buck last month. Both antlers came off. One when he rolled it over right after shooting it. The other when we unloaded it from vehicle. I saw a few bucks with one antler in late December In Iowa.

    Gonic loads for GA 90

    I have never shot the Gonic pistol but I do hunt with Gonic muzzleloader and use the 460 no excuses sized to .500 and 80 grains of 777 ffg. Gun likes a slip fit conical. That load would be pretty stout out of a handgun. I hunt with a optima V2 pistol with 80 grains of 777 ffg loose but use a 250...

    Florida pig with old Gonic 50 cal

    I have hunted out just about everything. I started using a saddle in the middle of last season. I have a Cruzr saddle , Cruzr platform, and 4 climbing stick set up. It’s relatively easy to get the “hang” of. There’s a lot of YouTube videos about them if you want more info.

    Mk85 powder

    I use hundred grains of loose 777 ffg with Remington #11 caps in one of my MK 85’s. I still get a little bit of the crud ring. Gun is very accurate and has always fired. I have hunted with it in the extreme cold January’s of Iowa and the swamps of Florida.

    In need of Gonic sizing tool

    This is the sizer that Gonic made to size the conical down to .500. Mine is not for sale but I thought It may help you in your search. It took me a while to find one a few years back.

    Crappie sized crankbaits

    I have used the hard plastic grasshopper crank bait to catch them in the past. I have a couple ponds I have access to that are loaded with crappie. The white marabou jig with white head and black eye works the best for me. Wife and I caught a “few” for dinner a week ago.

    Gonic history

    I still hunt with a old 50 cal gonic. I picked up a old gonic sales catalog several years ago which listed all their guns and accessories. I’d post pictures of the catalog but it’s up in Iowa at my brothers house. I bought the 460 grain no excuses especially made for gonic’s.
