Ya, after I posted, knew it was wrong, but couldn't change it, Thanks. I will be measuring by volume, no more than 100 gr. , for 108 yd.. Be ordering BH209 powder soon, can't wait to get the muzzle loader in hand again. I prefer it to any shot gun.

So if I run 100 gr. by weight of BH 209, would the pressure in the barrel reach a dangerous level in my 50 cal. inline? Not so much me, but my son likes to reach out to 150 yd with his TC. He's using 3 -777 pellets.

Wouldn't worry as much about the hair, as I would of the ribs showing. Could be as simple as worms, hopefully. Something drawing that animals body weight down. Of coarse, if that's all he has to consume is what's in the pic, know wonder he looks like that. Tough giving an accessment without more info.

There's a good supply of dealers throughout the state. Look like a nice set up, at a great price. The pink really sets the tone for the ladies, lol.

We'll now, this is interesting. So in switching from 100 gr, volume of Pyrodex pellets, 74,2gr.. to same volume, Bh209 powder, actually lowering my charge to 67.5 gr.. Would one tend to notice a large change in accuracy? What increase by volume, would be needed, to get the same?. Would Bh209 fire hotter verses Pyrodex pellet? These question may be reasons for muzzle loader gun manufactures to sell by volume, lol.

Happy belated.

I've enjoyed reading all your posts. My Grandpa and Dad use to take me on pheasant hunts back in the 70's, when u could bring home your limit. I raised 95+pheasants for many years, and released on the farm. Pheasant hunting was most enjoyable as we had a great irish setter that could really work a bird. I then had a family friend, serve as a mentor, taking me coon hunting every weekend in season about 1975. Watching the blue tick and red bone dogs work the trail was most enjoyable. He had a blue tick, run a trail silent, and barked only when coon was in tree. Remember one night, we had a huge old buck coon,that I shot in the head, run down the tree, about to jump on me when the dog grabbed it by the throat, killing it. That was a night I'll never forget. Always found it amazing how many hunters would be in the woods those nights with coon dogs. Lost hunting for a while with marrige and children but got back into it heavy when my kids were of age to deer hunt. Now it's full speed ahead. My kids out hunt me big time, and that's great. They bring home some beauties,so proud. Just added trapping today, having gone out with my brother in the 70's. No record in Albany of my certificate so, completed trapper ed coarse. Surprized how many, we'll lets say, experience mature people were there. They say 70% of fur bearing animals die from non trapper take. Interesting.

Yes, follow doctors orders. Hopes for a speedy recovery.

My condolences Eddie.

Maybe u need to help neighbor hang his cameras, lol. Again, wish u all the luck.

Politic discussions are like stirring a bees nest. Your bound to get stung, lol.

Got to say, that's one nice stud. He's a smart one, for sure to get that big. Going to be a challenge to get a poke at him, hope you do, especially a bow kill. Know your tag won't be filled with some of the earlier buck pics u showed,right away, lol. When u grab a hold of a rack like that, pinch yourself, think your in heaven, lol.

I don't care what color a president is, if hes got good policy, and moves this country forward, I'll vote for him. What has this president done in his term, to move this country forward? We've taken several steps back. Deerthug, totally agree. That's a socialist platform, and Obama is moving socialism forward, all he can.

Great news. Congrats.

at least in this area. Saw 3 hens with 13 poults last eve. Poults are 1/2 size of the moms. That's more then I've seen in last 5 years. How's other areas fairing?

Nice mature animal. Seems strange to see in the open now.

Nothing like your own fresh pick sweet corn. Taste all the better on a dry year. Just planted a few rows of 65 day. If we get a late frost like last year, might get corn. Planting more for deer forage.

Congrats to Adam. Very nice and hope to see a pic mounted. What was the gross score?

Doc, do they even send surveys out to get some feel on numbers? Never have heard of any. Think this stuff is invented to give employees work. Maybe they have to many employees?

Like the post fasteddie. Writer is stating terms used on hunting shows. Most of those terms are used here on site. What's the problem?

Got 2 words for the original poster, good luck. Been fighting with this problem for years. Can post all these solutions, but to live through it, whole nother story.

We'll have to say, the local TC did have a small hunting section. Pretty much picked over for deer hunting supplies. They were loaded with deer corn, feeds; mineral licks, and attractants. Must figure, a lot of people hunting out of state. Manager did say, have more stock coming next. They had a lot of seed, but none I wanted.

Mark me as spot on. Been waiting years for a October 1st opener. Finally happening. God willing, I'll be in stand mornings, evenings, or whenever I can 11 weeks of deer season, bring it on! Have to fit turkey season in there somehow, lol. Just keeps getting better.

Does yours have hunting products? Our 2 TC stores in area have very little in the way of hunting anything.

Always enjoy this time of the year. Get the warm days, and the crisp cool nights. Doesn't do the tomatoes any good though. They have sat their all summer green, due to lack of moisture, now vines are blighting.
