    Flying out on a Muzzy hunt??? Powder??

    I’m thankful for your offer! But I do have to ship my powder. Using BH209 and I can’t rely on any big box store. Also need to work up a load with 777 just in case. Again thank you!

    Flying out on a Muzzy hunt??? Powder??

    After doing some research I found a few folks telling tales of buddies that got caught with trying to hide primers and powder and were charged with felonies. Odds are low but I wouldn't risk it. I live outside NYC so I found someone that does HAZMAT shipping within 30 minutes of where I live...

    Flying out on a Muzzy hunt??? Powder??

    I’m in the same boat. Tempted to ship some ahead of time to the hotel I’m starting out from with some of my camping gear. Reading the regs it makes me nervous. I have a UPS account but don’t want to get involved with getting hazmat cert just to ship a few oz of bh209. Let me know what you...

    Am I a papucar?

    That’s exactly the plan for now. Thanks to all for the replies... even those that bit the low hanging fruit😁. Again driving is not an option... I’m from ground zero northern NJ and the long drive sets me back time wise as well as takes me some time to work out the stiffness. I sign my own...

    Am I a papucar?

    Papucar. (Pa-poo-char) In Croatian this means a man that acts like a woman’s slipper. As in your woman walks all over you. Well my very level headed wife and I had “the talk” last night. I didn’t draw my tag and so I am OTC CO this year again. So our talk discussed the 2nd wave, October...

    Ultimate Predator

    I did it 2 years ago and it worked great. It’s well thought out. Last summer I got into starting strength and did not get myself off of all the squats and deadlifts thinking I would try out something different. I definitely screwed up and felt like I was not conditioned enough, although the...

    Rest/off week?

    One thing that’s helped me is keeping a training journal. I always make sure to write how I feel. I started this past summer and finally have enough info that I can always look back and say “dumbass you did it again.” Hopefully I get smart enough to taper back the intensity before my body...

    Crossover Symmetry for shoulder health and strength

    I second the crossover symmetry. I got them when I realized that my copay at PT would pay for them in 3 sessions. Its nice to have them attached to the home squat rack and use as a upper body warmup. I do feel like the band pull aparts are just as effective though if not more for me. I use...

    New to muzzleloaders.... need advice.

    I have a Traditions G4 pursuit with stock scope This year I killed a small whitetail buck in NY using powerbelts over pyrodex pellets. I hit the buck high in the spine as the rifle was sighted in @ 200 yards and shot was at 60. It dropped right there. When I recovered the bullet it didn't...

    Teaching Boy Scouts about Hunting

    Thanks for Some great ideas. These boys are real young so I am probably jumping the gun a bit. The more I think about it, talking about conservation would probably bore the hell out of 7-10 year olds. I love the idea of organizing a group hunter safety class when the age is right. So much of...

    Teaching Boy Scouts about Hunting

    My boy is a new scout. He’s 7 and likes sports and fishing. At a scout meeting they asked parents to help lead meetings with topics they can teach kids. I live in NJ with a very philosophically diverse crowd.... doctors, lawyers, finance guys etc. nobody hunts. When they ask what I do for...

    So whats the best GPS for hunting?

    Garmin recently updated their fortrex models and I love how small it is. Mounted to the wrist I love not digging for my phone. It has no base maps or chip you can put in but it’s perfect for navigating to and from waypoints. The battery life is what sold me on it. Also takes 3a’s same as my...

    Essential items in your daypack

    I pack the accordion style tube from my whitetail grunt call. I used it last year in CO to direct some water into a Nalgene bottle from a near dry creek.

    Turkish get ups

    Just start light.... I started with 35lbs and am doing double that now.... it’s not that I got much stronger as my regular press has only gone up slightly. It’s just a move that needs practice.

    Shelter setup recommendation.

    I used the lil bug out with vestibule and medium stove during CO 2nd rifle. I was solo so it was a palace. I used it as a spike camp 3 miles in. I found some point of interest that make me want to go a little deeper/steeper this year so I upgraded my sleeping bag and will always have the DST...

    Turkish get ups

    Yeah I like them. Been doing them for 7 months. I think they are great for coordination. They definitely expose imbalances in your strength since it is a uni-lateral exercise. So I haven’t hunted since doing a lot of them... but something tells me they’ll help me climb over deadfall more...

    Collagen Protein?

    I struggle digesting whey protein so I have been trying some alternatives like pea, egg white, rice and now collagen. I can deal with all of them but when thinking about packing protein into the backcountry I think the collagen protein is going to be the one. For anyone that hasn’t tried it...
