    Does this look right?

    I'm not sure if it the same but on my Bison I used Weavers #11 and #35.

    How much trimming is required…

    When I butcher a deer I expect to wind up with 30 to 35% of hanging weight as yield. I do a pretty complete job and take neck, flanks, shanks and rib meat that a lot of people leave on. I suspect a lot of estimates are based on rule of thumb.

    Omega 6 Pointer

    I took out my .50 cal Omega again last night and took this buck a little before 5:00. It was a perfect shot but he still made a pretty good run and wound up in one of the nastiest greenbriar patches I've ever had to pull a deer through! The Load was two 50 grain 777 pellets under a 300 grain...

    Spring 2023, where are you hunting?

    Muzzleloader Doe

    I put down the bow and picked up the .50 cal Omega on Monday. Morning hunt was a bust. Nothing moving and temps around 10 degrees with a very light wind. I hunted a different stand in the afternoon. I had a line of 6 does followed by two spikes pass by me. The does were small and my trigger...

    Big doe?

    Nice big doe! I 've taken a few big ones and never weighed them. This one might be the biggest.

    Mounting a Lyman 57 SME on a Bison

    Thank you! That's exactly what I was hoping for. Every picture of the sight that I brought up seems to be mounted on the left.

    Mounting a Lyman 57 SME on a Bison

    I'm looking at options to mount a peep sight on my Bison. The 57 SME is supposed to fit this gun. From the looks of it (I haven't ordered it yet) it mounts on the left side of the receiver. Is this right? If so, how? Anyone have pictures they can share? Thanks.

    Ultimate Firearms Black Widow

    Great info guys. Thank you. At first, I thought the VX-6 was included in the price and that sounded like a great deal. When he said "no scope" I thought I'd better do some research. I knew I came to the right place!

    Ultimate Firearms Black Widow

    Figured I'd throw this out there to see what you guys think. I have an opportunity to purchase a Black Widow in .50 cal. The gun has approx 40 rounds through it. It's fitted with a McMillan thumbhole stock, upgraded carbon fiber barrel, custom muzzle break, original ignition system as well as an...

    On the streets.

    The laws are written to protect people in situations like yours. Unfortunately, they're usually applied to leeches who don't pay their rent and are able to keep on living free of charge for 6 to 12 months. But you've got rights. Check into your local laws and good luck!

    Any love for Powerbelts?

    I've posted these before. Powerbelts out of a buck and a doe.

    Any love for Powerbelts?

    I've never had a problem with Powerbelts. Lately I've been experimenting with a bunch of different bullets but killed a doe with a Powerbelt last week. I shot it from about 40 yards quartering away. I got full penetration, entering just behind the lungs and high towards to spine on the right...
