    I don't see it in the first two picts. No way over 200# Third one no idea. Just saying. Then again taking pictures of bucks antlers can always throw you off on how big. I apologize if they were weighed. Not stirring up deer poop here. 

     

     

    First picture is a buck that weighed 219# on my scale. Heart girth was just over 46". Here is the estimated live weight of a 46" girth weight whitetail buck.

    That correlates to 233# dressed.

     

    The second and third picture are of the same deer. The deer in the second picture is not bloated. Picture taken after walking 240 yds to the deer that dropped in its tracks.

    Hey Guys;

     

    So how much does wet weather compromise the Muzzleloaders ability to fire anyway? I mean, as long as I have my finger guard condom over the end, Im good to go, right? Or is there still some leakage/absorption expected that can ruin my white hots? 

    Thanks :D

    Unless I was hunting in a frog strangling rain, I used my flintlock and only once did I have  problems when the priming powder in the pan looked like grease.

    Of course I never fell for the "substitute" propaganda and only used real black powder with a tightly patched round ball.

     

    In fact, unless I encountered heavy rain that got the pan wet during my hunts, I would even leave my weapon loaded behind the seat of my pickup for the entire season. Avoiding condensation resulting from rapidly changing temperatures encountered when taking the weapon in and out of a heated structure (and using genuine black powder) was key to dependable ignition..

    Don’t let all those ALTERNATIVE Facts he wrote explode your leftist thinking brain.

    You forgot the exclamation marks and ending with your favourite "FACT".

    Fail.

    "Alternative facts" I fixed it for him.

    I'm always amazed when people are aware of all the problems their preferred elected officials create, but still support them and defend them when they're challenged.  Analytical minds examine the problem and the alternatives and can see solutions, so they can defend their political preferences.  Sadly the people  who can do that, are often not capable of being understood by the low IQ voters they speak to, who will resort to ad hominem attacks against them because they know they cannot win the debate with facts and data.  In politics, only results matter.  That's why I don't support leftist politicians.

    Somehow the term "analytical mind" doesn't seem to describe the mental perceptions of Trump supporters.

    1 problem with your assessment of his criticism of said “ behavior”: Grouse os a Republican who supports policies promulgated by Conservatives . These policies will not destroy the country as per the additional criteria put forth in his post ; the Dems policies , however , will and are currently :D .

    Nah, his posts don’t suggest a thoughtful, level-headed conservative. Endless copy/pastes of conspiracy theories suggest an isolated and fearful far right radical. The GOP seems to want to escape from the stranglehold that these nut jobs have on the party. It’s odd to see you double down on them.  

    Northcountryman's assessment of acceptable policy behavior reminds me of the old conservative Reich mantra.

    There was a time in this country when voters would base their decision on who offered better policies for the country.  Those days are long gone.  Today they vote for whoever promises to pander to their interests the most, even if that will destroy the country.

    That's the stupidity that cannot be fixed. 

    Yet again you prove your point by being a perfect example of the behavior you criticize.

    Surely , youre not suggesting that Herschel Walker is more unfit  to serve than clearly demented Biden and stroke damaged Fetterman- no way!!!  

    Lemme put it to you this way: if those 2 buffoons (i.e., Biden and Fetterman)are fit to serve , then ANYONE is fit and qualified to serve for public office!!   Hell, based on the results , thats the way the electorate wants it so fine by me!! 

     

    BTW, whos Ted Lasso?

     

    :D

    I am a fan of the bottom ejection design the Remington 17 had along with the Ithaca 37s and the Browning BPS, the main advantage is it is user friendly for both right and left hand shooters also the empty cases are easily found right at your feet, just makes sense. Nice 17 you have there Grouse.

    Al 

    Also allows for a reduced depth and thinner walled receiver hence the light comparative weight of the Ithaca M37.

    Why did George Soros allow her to lose?  Think about that!   What doesn’t Soros want with the new candidate that he couldnt get with her?   Soros and the rabid left want her out, thats why they didnt let her win.  Open your eyes people!

     

    LIONS NOT SHEEP!

    While the Democrats were "rigging" the POTUS election, how did they not end up with 60 seats in the Senate?

  11. You old timers might like to know that I caught this fish on a 3/4oz Johnson Silver Minnow with a 3 1/2" split tail pork rind trailer.

     

    My son was doubtful at first but now wants to get some Johnson Silver Minnow spoons.
