Thanks all! appreciate it so much!

Thanks! the one was right at 1 1/4'' and the other at 7/8" which was broke off. We played some games this week. Had him pretty close couple mornings ago but did not push a shot as it was very thick. I'm glad I waited!

Had an amazing last day! Tagged out with about a half hour before I had to give up for work. Nice bird I have been hunting the last couple weeks. Ivory tip and all! Finally met his match today! Was a tougher year for me than usual.

I use H4350, temp stable and gets them cooking! But I also have a 26" shilen varmint barrel with a 1:8 twist. Shooting 105Gr Bergers at 3050fps. I monkey around with some benchrest shooting and long range stuff with this load. I have had good luck with IMR 4350 in my sporter Savage model 11 with 87gr Vmax. Produced somewhere little over half inch group at 100 yards.

I hear ya there! Luckily I do have some other good spots. This one is just nice and conveniant as it is right out my back door and extends my hunting range as I like to walk and talk. The goal is to hopefully not over-use it. He does live quite a ways away and don't think he will be hunting much which probably will help my case. I def will use your experience to help mine! Thanks Wooly!

Need a little opinion on what you guys think this means when I asked my neighbor for permission to hunt outback. I recently had purchased a house with land with about 30 acres or so. The property bordering me is about 150 acres or so give or take. I have met the land owner several times and have had great conversation with him. I was looking to seek permission to turkey hunt only as I know he likes to whitetail hunt and didn't want to overstep my boundaries. I had asked if it was okay if he cared if I walked along the logging roads to hunt turkey out back. His reply was that he does turkey hunt a little but usually doesn't get out much. He told me where he typically hears the birds and said come spring we can deconflict times and places during the spring. I am taking this as yes go-ahead as long as I am not hunting and we don't run into each other when he does hunt. I also mentioned if he needed any help like posting, etc I am always willing to help and offered to hunt together. His reply was sounds good. What do you think? I am trying to be respectful and not overstep my boundaries.

As long as you follow the book guidelines you will not have a problem. Many of these guns did not leave the factory without being tested 3 times the normal pressure the barrel would see. I have shot two deer with mine so far and got it last year at a gun show! Randy Wakeman has done a lot of research on this muzzle-loader.

Thanks I guess I didn't search through the site well enough!

Headed out to Ohio in a few weeks and thought of bringing out some literature for the slower hours of the long 12 hour sits! I was wondering what are some of your favorite reads or authors are?! I am big in to the Benoit books by Townley. The eberhardt books are good too. I just bought a Steve Rinella book (meat eater) but would like to add another.

Thanks!! will most likely use just for pics as i have my brownings for video

Anyone running any of these? I have a lot of Brownings and always had good luck with Moultrie too. The m-40 is intriguing with the 90ft detection and 100ft flash. Amazon has them for $104.

nice pick up with the new rifle bill for the rest of Broome County! Johnson City Gander? I may go down there and poke around a bit tonight.

Get him Wooly Bear!

CBE has been an awesome sight. I have the single pin... but you pay for it.

https://meritseed.com/classic-whitetail-perennial/ This is what I tried this year. Seems to be coming in nicely. It is best suited for more moist soils but has your ladinos, berseem, and red clover in it.

Nula model 20 sounds good... lol

Looks as if the western part of the county (west of the Susquehanna) now may join rifle country as it has passed both Senate and the Assembly. Not sure how I feel about this yet!

MagnaBlends pattern just as good if not better in my Benelli/Kicks Gobblin Thunder as the Longbeard XR's. Magna's def hit way harder. Magna's are pricey but I will not use any other load. I wish I still had the pics on my phone when i patterned the loads at 60 yards.

That is your deer. That is very messed up and a bush league move. What kind of hunting story does that guy have for that deer? It sucks you couldn't get back the next morning or next night to search but can't help those things if you are unable to. Any normal bow hunter would gave you a call. Did he show you a picture? Lets assume he didn't find your buck or go look for it the next day. What are the chances you find the buck in daylight when you went back? Pretty good i'm guessing. I can tell by your posts over the years you are not a rookie hunter and tracker. Thank you for sharing your experience. I will in the future retain this scenario for my own wisdom.

Hello Stein! I hunted Mikes Outfitter in Rouyn-Norunda. Had a great experience. I ended up arrowing one on the second day. My biggest thing I was not prepared for was field judging these bears. I did not put the proper time in doing that, so I ended up not shooting a very nice bear. I did shoot on the second day a 200lb Sow. I went the last week of June. Also, buy a thermacell and take a lot of extra packs with you. The bugs are terrible and the mosquitoes are the size of hummingbirds. Bug nets are great also. Good luck!

I love them. here is my group at 100... 1 inch. I am sure it will do better if i tinker with it.

I love this thing! Here is the buck I harvested opening day with the gun! I did end up buying the Spinjag and rod. Well worth it in my opnion. I am shooting 44 grains of 5744 Accurate arms and a 275gr Parker BE.

2016 was good to me! opening day with my Savage 10MLii. Chasing a doe with several other bucks. Have had hi on camera for 2 years. I finally caught up to him.
