I left my muzzleloader loaded since last October, and just fired it a week ago. I do not recommed doing this, but I also have to say I am using BH 209. Kinda like cheating, dont tell anybody

So I checked my NEF Sidekicks zero the other day. And the '06. They both seem pretty much on. Gonna lay off the shooting on the property now that the seasons are gettin close. So now I will be going to the range here on LI to shoot some groups. I was shooting the FPB, 350 gr, with 85 grains of BH 209. I usually get about a 1"-2" group @ 100 yards, depending on wind, and my ability to shoot straight...Oh, I usually shoot five shot groups. I think I will keep it at three this year. I will ad that shooting that set up is real pleasant. I have never been to recoil shy, but have noticed that in the last few years I enjoy a little less kick to the shoulder. I just ordered the 300 gr FPB's, gonna give them a try at the range. Has anyone here tried them yet? Accuracy? Good luck all, the season is comming!

Nah, I wish...Just runoff, pic was March 18th..

Those are some really nice places! I love those adirondack shots too, I go there often... Here is mine

whoa boy, that will keep you on your toes...Interesting buck!

Lol, he was a good sport about it! Those guys were having a good time despite, ha!

Thanks guys. I could not give anyone advice about planting stuff, lol. I learned pretty much from the posters on this site...Through in some luck. We will see if all this rain doesnt wash it away..

Wow. Truely awsome!

Just checked, 179 for the Fullfield 2 on Cabela's..Backordered though. The reviews are pretty good. Might buy one at that price myself.

Hey, thats what I was thinking about the 50, higher rings, not much benefit..I like mine as low as possible, but that is just me. I love Leupold. Geat scopes, a little pricey...I have a Burris Fullfield 2 on my muzzleloader. I bought it to save a little money, and am glad I did. Very nice scope. You might want to try one, although I do not know what they are going for now, I think I got mine for around 200-250... Anyway, if you buy the Redfield, keep us posted on how you like it.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I appreciate it. Now that I have been back, I have an update. Because I was going to broadcast the seed, and not press it in with something, I over seeded as per the instructions. But then I used the ATV, around and around...lol. So, now I have crap loads of plants...A few bare spots, and a few spots with sooo many..Anyway, thats what it is.. Here is a photo, thanks again.

No experience with that scope..The old ones were supposed to be good quality. Any particular reason that you want the 50mm, as opposed to 40?

Everyones ATV's are so clean! The grime helps hold it together...

I have a Mossberg. I would never buy another one.

Very nice!

Ha! Maybe. Just replace the sour milk with bad pork... Zombies: The Ramifications of Yes (Official Toshiba Commercial)

Just like hunting squirrels. The same squirrels that come in to your yard with no fear, hide like crazy in the woods a few feet away. And ducks.

Very cool. Sounds like you are learning like me. Keep us posted...

Ok, that is some great advice, thanks guys. I was suprised as well how few rocks came up. That spot, and just about my whole property was a dairy farm many, many, years ago. I just bought the property less than a year ago, and am still learning about it. The ph test I did was all over the place before I limed the plot. (varyingly low) I did not do one after. The property is about 4 hours away, so I go mostly for a few days when I have off from work. That might make it hard to plan adding fertilzer with the rain. Is there a less potent one I could try that would still be beneficial, but not have as much tendency to burn? Maybe something I could do two different times? Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Yes, the blue locktite is good for scope bases..Not the screws on the rings. I know some people do, but I do not think is necessary, and might become a problem..

Hey all, planted my first plot. It is pretty much in the middle of the woods, a half acre. To start out, I bought a soil test kit, and it showed the ph was low so I spread about 1000 pounds of pellitized lime on it starting in May. The other tests I did were all over the place, so I was not really sure...I sprayed most of it, left a small patch of clover in the middle, that was rototilled under anyway. I planted Evolved Harvest Shot Plot, a mix of Rape and Turnips. I also went for a light application of Ladino Clover. I then spread 200 lbs of 10-10-10 fertilizer, it was all I had on hand. The Brassicas call for a good level of Nitrogen. Can I add more? How soon? Also, the meadow had a good amount of hay/dead weeds that I had to flatten with the ATV, I do not know what affect that will have. Any suggestions? Thanks, and of course a photo.

I live and breathe hunting and fishing. But I could care less watching it on TV. I do not think it makes a good spectator sport. How do you put the "feel" of the experience on a program? I think that is what hunting is for me. I would like to shoot a big buck just like everyone else, but this is not why I hunt. That feeling you get when you step out into that chilly air of the country on a November morning, with a rifle or shotgun in your hands. The smell of the pine trees. The anticipation, and wondering what you will see that day. When I watch it on TV, it is always the same. Hunter in a blind. Deer comes by. Hunter whispers at the camera. Shoots deer. Thats basically it.

I had some stumps pulled, so I threw down some clover seed where the soil was bare. I have the same two does and three fawns on 500 photos...

Wow. That is some buck right there.

Only if your gonna eat them
