    First year with a Muzzy/ 2 bucks in two days!

    I have bowhunted exclusively since 1991 killing close to 150 deer with both a compound and recurve until last week. The reason for this was in 1991 I was hunting the opener of the NJ 6 day firearm season in the Delaware Water Gap waiting on a buck to clear some Mountain Laurel to give me a shot...

    Newbie looking for best practices

    What is your process when shooting an in-line muzzleloader? I won a CVA Optima in October at a NWTF dinner. Finally was able to get it sighted in this morning. It is set up as follows: Scope Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40, Ammo Hornady XTP 240 grain .44 caliber bullet in green sabot being...

    What else do I need?

    I picked up the CVA Optima I won at a dinner today and below is what I was able to get at the store. When I got home I mounted the Burris Scope using the levels I tune a bow with and a small household level. I know I need a case but they didn’t have the CVA one I wanted. I forgot to look for a...

    Need to accessorize a CVA Optima 2

    I was at an NWTF dinner last night and won the Optima V2. It is the one with the stainless barrel, Realtree camo and comes with scope mounts. I know absolutely nothing about muzzleloaders. I have hunted with a bow exclusively since the mid 90’s. What do I need? I saw there is a starter kit that...

    What is your elk setup?

    After shooting a compound for 40 years I took up the recurve just before Thanksgiving and I will never shoot the compound again barring injury. I am addicted! My son and I went on a DIY elk hunt in 2019 nearly getting it done in 3 days! The trip was cut 5 days short because he got altitude...

    First deer with a recurve.

    I’ve been shooting compounds since 1982. This year I found out several friends were planning to hunt with recurves. It got me thinking about getting one too. Once the season started and I wasn’t seeing the number of deer I normally see in my public land spots due IMO from the EHD breakout NJ...

    Need advice

    I have a paid off 2104 Ram 1500 Big Horn with 102k that I love. My son just went into the Navy and with the pay cut he is experiencing it looks like I am going to have to start paying his loan on a used 2013 Ford F 150 Crew Cab with the 3.5 twin turbo. I think he has 3 years left on the loan but...

    Fenix 5X accuracy

    I got a Garmin Fenix 5x for Christmas and am having trouble believing the numbers on most statistics. I asked about the altimeter a couple days after getting it since I live at sea level and it said I was at over 200ft elevation. Someone gave me the directions on how to correct it and I did...

    Eddie Bauer Fleece Lined at Costco

    My wife went to Costco today and picked up two pair of the Eddie Bauer Guide pants with a fleece lining for $29.00 if anyone is interested. I don’t know if this is in just N.J. or nationwide but if you’re interested in some hiking/ hunting solid color pants at a great price I thought I would...

    Got my new Terraframe 50 bloody.

    My son tells me he is going to hunt the opening day of a county park for whitetails here in NJ. I wished him luck and said I couldn’t go due to a client meeting. My client calls me at 1:30 and says he can’t make it so I decided to hunt. I have in my truck my bow and my Terraframe that I have...

    Fitting my MR Terraframe?

    So I got this MR Terraframe 50 last week and have been on 5 hikes locally between 2-4 miles with about 30 pounds of equipment in it. I didn’t adjust the length of the yoke at all because it felt great compared to my MR Glaicer. I have a 60 pound sand bag in this picture and was looking for...
