    Quartering Wind Direction- How close is too close?

    Well I'll say this, you can't get big rewards with out big risks. If a big guy busts you, it was too close. Be smart about entry and exit, don't over hunt it, and even if it absolutely sucks doing it, if the best way in takes you 2 miles, well take the best way in.... Don't overthink it, take...

    Slow start to 2023 season

    I have a thousand excuses as to why my season started out the way it did. I was deployed again until September and procrastination lead to me not getting any scouting done or having any cameras hung. This lead to me not seeing a deer from the stand from September 16th until October 28th. Not to...

    How many cams do you run?

    Deer around Ohio Train Derailment area

    Gonna have to agree with this, there is potential for this to be a long term problem in the immediate area in town, but like elkyinzer said, this will be other peoples problems unfortunately...

    I officially ended my deer season Saturday. Tore my xbow down yesterday to get the limbs replaced, again, as they are delaminating again. Got a secondary/backup last week, gonna fit it out almost identically, but I'm definitely using the total arrow weight closer to 500 now in an effort to...

    Pods

    so I say nay, i dont oppose their use. I would like to know how the toxin effects the meat but I'm 100% on board with this method of increasing one's ability to recover a deer. From what i gathered it extremely effective, and even grazing hits will result in a downed deer. Think of how mamy...

Anyway, deer season will be kicking off a week after I got there, so I'm do everything I can to...

    States with traditional blackpowder seasons

    I'll say this from the photos, it looks like it has been actually fired much, there isn't much powder burn wear in the area around the touch hole. It has a significant frizzen wear more than likely from dry firing, you can also see a gouge in the barrel from what I'd assume to be an over sized...

    States with traditional blackpowder seasons

    I can tell you this from 20+ years of shooting these things hundreds of times a year he's wrong, no flint lasts forever. Not trying to be mean or anything like that, but they also can cut the frizzen pretty bad especially if it's a softer one. I would throat punch someone if they tried to put...

    Hand knapped flint ^^^^^^^ Agate cut flint

    States with traditional blackpowder seasons

    The problem with cut flints is you get maybe 24+/- shots to a flint, that's 10-12+/- a side, and for the most part they can't be knapped sharp again because they get all sorts of ways, not with any grain in particular, hand knapped flints can continually be knapped sharp until there just isn't...

    Do not buy agate flints... they are cut flints, and are pretty much trash, no offense to who ever recommended them............... you want an english or French hand knapped I promise you that..

    States with traditional blackpowder seasons

    As you get familiar with your rifle you can switch up the pan powder depending on the conditions. The more moisture there is in the air the larger the powder you'll want in the pan, 4F soups up real fast in damp conditions. You can use 2F I've done it before and killed deer, BUT you need to know...
