A couple of years ago when hunting for bear with a friend in NH we talked about the wolf in New England. There is a large amount of debate whether or not they are here. My friend has seen one in northern NH and a friend of his actually shot one thinking it was an extra large coyote in Maine. He didn...

It sounds interesting in some ways. One caveat is if you run into one of Japan's less than amicable giant wasps.

From what I understand, most of the farm and ranch land is leased out to clubs and outfitters. Unless someting has changed in recent times.

For while I used to chat with someone from Newfoundland. The province has the nickname of The Rock. From what I understand, it is the most economically depressed province in Canada. One thing that begs to be answered is what will you do to make a living? Many parts of Canada are beautiful but you st...

I too use Blackhorn 209 but in a more modern muzzleloader. I have a G2 50 caliber barrel for my Contender that has an Aimpoint mounted on it. Perfect for the type of hunting we have here in Massachusetts.

I love that sled set up. That would be ideal for ice fishing.

Speaking of bacon, the chef at work gets very creative. He made and apple cobbler with strips of bacon on the top. I do believe I shall have a sample tomorrow.

The 9mm shotgun is alive and well in the UK, sometimes called the Garden Gun and even the No 3 Bore. Ammo is expensive for what it is but can be found in most good gun shops over here. I used one around my Pheasant rearing pens on Rats and Squirrels. The old paper and brass shells would eject from ...

In my youth, our Thanksgiving tradition was to hunt pheasant or other game birds. We'd hunt in the morning before the main meal of the day. Later, the tradition focused on bowhunting for deer. This year I will either hunt bow in Massachusetts or muzzleloader in Rhode Island. I'll concur with the los...

Welcome to the United States of America. I hope that you thoroughly enjoy yourselves. I haven't been out West for several years. You will have a great time and see quite a lot. I know in Wyoming you don't need a license to shoot varmints so you might want to give it a whirl but this time of year is ...

Do you blame them for not wanting to pack up and move to the Springfield area of Masachusetts? I too was looking at the new rifle. I do not know how successful they will be. There are a lot of inlines out on the market now. What makes this any better than what is out there?

bigbore442001

It is beautiful. I wish we would get some snow to get rid of the outdoor allergies.

bigbore442001

I know some states prohibit electronic communications while hunting. I know the state of NH does not allow it for the moose season and they will ruin your day if caught using a cell phone or FRS radio while hunting moose.

bigbore442001

That is funny and to the point in many ways.

As an educator, a good hunting trip can beat what is said in the classroom. More young men need to take such trips to build character and learn about the real world.

bigbore442001

I would like to express our family's condolences for your loss. Grandfathers are a well of wisdom that are so needed in our world. It is too bad that they can't live to be 150 with the health of a 30 year old. That trip must have been wonderful. I am assuming you took some pictures and would be will...

6PT: Have you tried setting up some trail cameras? Sometimes they can give you an idea as to where you should put up a stand. I have put up cameras in great places and discovered much of the activity is nocturnal thus ruling out that location for a stand. I know public land is dicey when it comes to...

My mother called up and asked if we felt the earthquake. I replied that my wife and I were just watching the tv and did not notice anything unusual. She said that they felt the house shake and the cat went crazy. It is odd that we live about ten miles apart as the crow flies but we didn't feel a thi...

If I can shake this sinus infection thing going on I plan to do some after work scouting. Almost tempted to call in again. I have a suspicion that the deer are circumnavigating this large beaver bog. I am not sure if they'll cross it as it is quite large and appears deep in some places.

bigbore442001

Hello 6 Pt:

I was looking at the regulations for Blackwater NWR for the fun of it. Do they allow muzzleloading handguns for hunting like other parts of Maryland? I was wondering if there was something unwritten about it. Thanks

bigbore442001

After leaving the doctor's office( it appears I have a sinus infection) I did some pre season scouting. I took a long walk along this path of some land that hasn't been hunted for quite some time. I suspect people have trespassed but that happens. As I rounded this bend in the path near a beaver dam...

bigbore442001

I had to work but since I get out at 3PM I went bowhunting for deer. I did not see any deer but I did see two turkeys milling about at approximately fifty to sixty yards from my ladder stand. Too far for a shot and besides, this season I did not buy a tag. I could buy one online if I really want to ...

In my home town there is a sizeable Polish community so I frequent this one Polish food shop. They have these huge Polish hotdogs that are the best I have eaten. The hotdogs are natural in the fact that if you don't eat them in a week they go bad. That tells me they aren't filled with all kinds of c...

Chaga is very easy to identify. I had some bushcraft type people identify it before thus I know for sure what it is. Lately I have been under some sort of allergy attack. Horrible post nasal drip to the point of vomiting every morning, thus I am wondering if I start drinking this tea will it help me...

bigbore442001

Excellent shot. Maybe I live in a cave but I haven't seen too much on the internet about bucks taken from California. How far was the shot?

bigbore442001

Great image. Black powder can be fun but here in my area most shooters use the subsitute H777 for their muzzleloading applications. You still get a big cloud of smoke.

I immediately took my knife and cut it from the tree. From what I understand this odd fungi has some great healthy pro...

On November 3rd I'll be off in the woods of NW Rhode Island for whitetails with this.

I love my SS. It seems to have a natural pointability. It is my most often carried revolver. When I have the chance I shall post an image of my Ruger. I changed a few things on it and have a nice custom Simply Rugged holster for it.

Hi, You have a start on finding what you want, next you have to decide if you want neighbors or not. Privacy is a big concern to think about. You may not want people to see you when you are having dinner on your back deck or just enjoying the evening. If you buy a large piece of property look for 4...

After Church the wife and I had breakfast and did some shopping. While out and about this morning I stopped at Tractor Supply for some Permethrin. I have read on some bushcraft forums on how to take the permethrin concentrate,dilute it and soak your outdoor clothing in it to repel ticks and the like...

This cottage was my primary residence for a number of years so I don't have the tax issue. I plan to contact some real estate agents next week and see what they can offer me. There is a lot on the internet but an agent has greater access as well as things that aren't listed.

bigbore442001

For a number of years I have tried to sell my cottage on the lake. It belonged to my great uncle who was an Assistant Bishop and then it was the summer home of my grandparents. In that time many people had a home in town and one at the lake for the summer. After they had passed away the home became ...

We went riding around late yesterday afternoon and saw some deer on State Game Lands, which are open to hunting. Almost all of the land I saw was posted. But in all honesty I saw more deer on state property than I have in my own area of Southern New England. I wonder what the hunting pressure is lik...

I might be tempted this winter to pick up a set for the 410 Contender barrel.

Perry:

That is it. For some reason I could not search it on the net. I really have to thank you for this bit of information. I saw that advertisement and realized I needed to obtain that work. In a way I'd like to do something like that if it is possible.

Here in the Northeastern US some bookstores will carry a few UK shooting periodicals. One of which is titled,THE FIELD. Sometimes it is carried other times it is not. I recall perusing through one of those magazines where there was a book written by a fellow in the UK who had a forty acre farm and c...

Good shooting. Our waterfowl seasons don't open up until mid October. There are early resident Canada goose seasons such as our state which opens up on September 15th.

bigbore442001

Nice gray squirrel.I read that they are causing some big issues in your land.

bigbore442001

Hmm. How big is your lease? If used, could others take advantage of it? As an example, I belong to a club that has about a hundred acres surrounded by open private and state land( In Massachusetts,with the exception of some towns, unposted land is considered open to trespass for hunting,fishing,etc)...

For example, with 31.5 grains of H110 and a 180 gr. Hornady XTP, they show 1896fps for the revovler and 2286fps for the rifle. I know most don't consider the .44 Mag a 'varmint' cartridge per se, but those 180 grainers out past Mach-2 do a number on whatever you don't need to salvage meat or pelt o...

If you have time you could take a ride to Sundance Wyoming where there is some Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid stuff. I did take a ride to Kaycee and took pictures of Hole in the Wall Canyon.

bigbore442001

I appreciate the information. The trip may be up in the air as we had to take the wife's vehicle in for a repair and it looks like it will be quite a few bucks. So our week off may be closer to home.

bigbore442001

I plan to see him shortly and I want to chat with him further. I have some friends that tell me if something happens he will go to bat for you.

I have the email,it will be printed out and carried with me. It is one thing to get a verbal confirmation but to get something printable is much more solid. I don't see why a CO would jeopardize his career misleading someone.

The issue of whether or not one could hunt with a handgun in the state of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was very elusive. It seemed that no one had a clear answer. Well I emailed a gamewarden that I know and the answer he gave me was positive. I asked if I could hunt small game,varmints an...

Not to be a dark cloud on a sunny day but who in your party knows how to drive in snow? I suspect that if anyone is driving in that part of the world in the month of November you may run into snow and ice. I am not sure if you have driven in such conditions in the land of Oz. I know sometimes you ge...
