    Are “Plugged” lever guns legal in your state’s straight wall season?

    Arkansas is looking at allowing straight wall cartridges during muzzleloader season. I hate the idea, since we have zero restrictions on modern gun season, but if the rules change I don’t plan on getting left in the dust. I have a Marlin 1895 XLR in 45/70 that doesn’t get much love these days...

    18” barrel .243 win load recommendations

    I’m getting my first deer rifle, a trusty savage 10 in .243, cut down to at least 18” and threaded for a suppressor. Does anyone have experience loading for short barreled .243s, and if so, what are some of your preferred powders and projectiles? I’ve had great luck with staball 6.5 in the 22”...

    The science is final…

    Well boys, the verdict is in. Some egghead did a study on factors that make for a successful deer and elk hunter, and it’s about what you’d expect: See the study here To summarize: -deer hunting success correlated strongly with hours per day spent outside of camp (success increases 18% per...

    New to flintlocks, where to start?

    I just ordered my first flintlock, a Kibler Woodsrunner kit in .50, and have a few months before it ships. In the meantime, does anyone know of good resources for sidelock shooters? I’m talking about everything from books to YouTube channels to Internet forums to websites that sell lots of...

    Hunting elk in the eastern US

    Does anyone have experience hunting elk in eastern states? It’s such a limited opportunity that there isn’t much written about tactics for it. I’m wondering how it differs from hunting in western states, and if there are any significant differences in elk behavior.

    Question on Oregon’s 5% NR cap

    So Oregon has a cap on nonresidents in controlled hunts, only allowing them 5% of tags. My question is- for the hunts with more tags than applicants, do they still limit NRs to 5% of available tags, or do they remove the cap? For example if a hunt has 100 tags but only 50 resident applicants...

    Missouri Approves Bear Season Great news out of Missouri! They’ve joined Arkansas and Oklahoma in holding bear a bear season, so the entire Interior Highlands now has a huntable population of bears. They were pretty much wiped out in this part of the country by the 30s but were...

    Big Game 20 Gauge : a TSS BB Report

    I'm hunting an area down in Texas with tons of hogs that only allows shotguns and archery. Since some times of the year you can only have birdshot in your possession and since Texas has no shot size limits I decided to buy a roll crimping bit and try my hand at loading TSS in larger sizes in my...

    Good Lumbar Packs for Hunting?

    I do a lot of still/slip hunting in heavy brush and love having a lumbar pack to minimize my profile and make it easier to move through nasty stuff. Currently I'm running a MOLLE combat belt with some pouches and a 1.5L bottle when I want to travel super light but I would like a larger pack that...

    Oregon Travel Management Areas

    Anyone here familiar with hunting Oregon's travel management areas? They sound like temporary walk-in areas that are established during the season to limit pressure, traffic, and erosion in non-wilderness areas. It seems like a great concept but I could see them not being well enforced. The last...

    Hey y'all, I'm a new member and sometime lurker from Arkansas, currently stationed in San Antonio. I've been hunting and fishing most of my life and really enjoy traditional archery, reloading, and fly-fishing.
