Back in May and June I had a blood test done. I've been watching my PSA slowly increase for about 15 years. During covid everything was shut down and so I kind of didn't think about it. I went in for an appointment with a skin doctor and she wanted me to do a blood test before we started her...

For many years I have fished for spring catfish. Every year I have noticed turkeys and observed their habits. Also for years I have thought maybe I should try to hunt them. My son kind of spurred my to try it this year. I'm not a turkey hunter. I don't own camo for hunting. I have no idea...

I haven't said anything to anyone. I was contacted by a writer for outdoor life. He is following me on YouTube. He asked if I would consider taking him Sturgeon fishing. He is normally a shooting editor but does some fishing. I told him I would but he wouldn't be able to give exact...

Aoudad is a bucket list hunt for me. Over the years I have taken many trophy animals in Idaho. I would like a moose, and a bighorn. But the Aoudad is at the top of that list. I would use my 45 Hot Rod Hawken with my RCBS 11MM rifle bullet.

A buddy of mine brought me a rifle to do a trigger job on. The rifle was custom built and is a very nice rifle. The trigger was at 2.5 pounds with an awful long 1/4 mile of dirt road creep. I took it apart and found some gritty build up on the sear and the trigger. I cleaned and polished both...

If you build them post them up. I picked up the blades in various grades of being finished. Then added scales and bling.

For the last 2 years I've been a grave digger in a pandemic. I couldn't get any time off. I was working 7 days a week. In October I tried to take a day off and got chewed out so I gave them my notice and as of October 8th I am partially retired. I didn't get to go deer hunting in 2020, and...

Here is the video.

Actually I got two. Both were bigger than the boat, it's 7 foot long. I'm working on a video.

I made a video today. I took a .501 sized bullet and a cloth patch that was .018. Then I took a hammer and a 3/8 bolt and drove it down the barrel without powder. The nipple was sized up and the bore was rusted. I used the solid ram rod to pound the bullet into the barrel and it even flattened...

I went Sturgeon fishing last week. My wife went with me on her ISUP.

Today I was working on a new sheath for a knife I built. I will show what I have done with it. I wetted it down and formed it to the knife. I will finish it tomorrow I hope. After I got that done I started to work on a project that has been on my mind for a while. I wanted something that...

Lewis sent me some 416 gr paper patch bullets to try in my New Rifle here is a picture if you don't remember. I had a hardness of .060 on my dial, that is about 9.2 BHN that's kind of a guess. It was between 9 and 9.5 BHN. I filed off the nose to get a wider spot to test the hardness. I...

A friend of mine has never owned a Muzzleloader called me and I think he is going to order one in a Western states legal model #11 cap. I have not kept up with inlines. How is the Mountaineer with a #11 ignition? What is the options for a peep?

Today I got a chance to shoot the new rifle and I decided to go straight to 100 yards. I shot my 408 gr RCBS 11mm rifle bullets paper patched. I was using 80 gr of powder measured. With an over sized over powder wad. The wind was off and on but not super hard. Not knowing where to set the...

I have had a Stainless Green Mountain 45 cal LRH barrel sitting in my safe for a long time waiting for me to do something with it. Well I picked up a donor TC Renegade. I installed a Lee Shavers mid range Sole sight with a Hadley eye cup with a Lee Shavers Ferriss front sight. I think I am...

My new to me TC Renegade project is on hold until my new sights come in. This is the new rifle. I have a Lee Shavers Mid range Sole sight on order along with a Hadley cup. I have a Ferriss front sight on order. ( I stole this picture from @Idaholewis ) The barrel is a new in box never...

I picked this rifle up for 200 bucks. I have a new in box Green Mountain LRH 45 that needs a stock with a set of double triggers. So it will have a new life as a 45 cal.

I've had a lot of down time since catching the Covid 19 virus. I just saw that Davide Pedersoli co is now building the Lyman Great Plains rifles. I also see that Pedersoli has changed the twist from 1-32 to 1-24. This kind of surprises me a little. I can't help but wonder how well these would...
