      BP shotgun for upland...

      I hunt almost exclusively with BP firearms... Generally a .50 roundball for deer, and a .32 Traditions Crocket for smaller game - also round ball. I'm slowly getting interested in doing more upland hunting and would love to find a blackpower shotgun suited for my needs and interests. I've...

      CVA Hawken pawn shop find

      Nice find! My father-in-law gave me a nice, barely used late-80's CVA Hawken a few years ago. I'm hooked now and picked up a .32 Traditions Crockett for the bushy-tails. Now I'm looking for a blackpowder shotgun for rabbit and other upland game...

      Recommendations on a rod/reel combo for bay sport/light use saltwater...

      Lots of great suggestions! Thanks everyone! I don't mind spending the money on good stuff if it will last. There are lots of great suggestions here. Sounds like I'm going to be getting a few different setups. We are heading up to the NH coast this summer, so I'll probably get the...

      Recommendations on a rod/reel combo for bay sport/light use saltwater...

      Probably Sandy Point or there-about... Mark - I'm in AA County and fish mostly State and County parks. I haven't fished Sandy Point yet, but plan to. I've been over to the Indian River inlet a bunch while camping over there. Sounds like I need to get two different setups. BTW - if...

      Recommendations on a rod/reel combo for bay sport/light use saltwater...

      Thanks, kstone! A kayak is in the works. I have a canoe now, but it is too big to handle with just me (17 footer). Eventually, I'll pick up a bigger boat of some sort. No place to keep it right now until I get the camper sold and out of the driveway. Thank you for the...

      Recommendations on a rod/reel combo for bay sport/light use saltwater...

      Hi all, I'm from the mountains out in the Western part of the state, but I live here near the Bay now. I'm getting back into fishing on a regular basis and learning about saltwater and bay sport fishing. I still love and prefer freshwater because I know it, but I'm looking to branch out a...

      What are the "Camping Essentials" for the newbie camping family?

      My list... Purely for car camping, I'd get the following (and second some previous posts). My camping gear is also mostly useable for other things. 1. I prefer layered blankets to sleeping bags myself, but only because I can use them in multiple ways. They are cheaper, easier to clean...

      Squirrel Hunting Question

      .32 BP... I go up to Pax River State Park a few times a year, mostly for black powder seasons, but also just to observe and track whatever I can find. There are lots of squirrel there, but you do have to head in right in the morning when they get active. Look for nut bearing trees and the...

      Killed my first Fox! Recommended Taxidermist??

      Nice Fox! Nice fox! I've been trapping in that area for a few years now. The fox there seem more elusive. I'm from the George's Creek area originally… been seeing lots of grays up that way lately.

      Albino doe in Crofton

      Neat! I'll have to take a ride over there to see if I can catch a glimpse. I'm very familiar with the area (live in Odenton, but rented a Condo in the "Habitats" in Crofton for a few years before we bought our current place). There is a neat children's book I remember about indians using...

      Elk Neck State Forest

      Lots of deer... We camped there back in August. The deer herd was tremendous.

      Squirrel Hunting Question

      Out at Patuxent State Park today... I went out for some bushytail hunting at the Elton Farm Road section of Pax. River State Park this morning. There were five trucks there when I pulled in. I figured most folks there would be out for archery, but I did here a few shotguns off in the distance...

      Goex without the long line?

      I've tried three times (unsuccessfully) to pick up some Goex at Bass Pro in Hanover. The wait is two-three hours. Short of camping out, is there a local shop in Central Maryland that carries Goex, Swiss, or other *real* black powder? I have plenty of Pyrodex and Triple Seven. I'm looking...

      8 pt. in velvet spotted -

      Saw a large heard and tons of smaller groupings of deer (many antlered in velvet) at Elk Neck State Park this weekend.

      K31 and other surplus carbines for hunting... anyone use one?

      I haven't tried to M44, though I've been looking for one. They seem to be getting hard to find. The safety isn't an issue on the K31 - easy as cake to set and unset. The 91/30, not so much. I really like the 91/30. I have one from 1943 - very rough metal work, but it doesn't take away...

      K31 and other surplus carbines for hunting... anyone use one?

      This has likely come up before, but I recently picked up a K31. I love surplus rifles, and the Mosin is a great deer rifle, but it's big and heavy, making it difficult to stalk quietly the way I prefer to hunt (out in Western MD). I got this one from Samco. The metal is in excellent shape...

      Finishing an Armi de San Marco 1851 Navy Replica...

      I picked up most of the parts I needed from Dixie... all look like exact or close to exact replacements. I still need a few things (the nipples Dixie had didn't fit, and they didn't have the barrel catch and a few screws I needed). Once I get all the parts and get it dry fitted, I'll start the...

      Finishing an Armi de San Marco 1851 Navy Replica...

      I picked up an Armi de San Marco Colt 1851 Navy replica .36 (stamped CVA) from a sale this past weekend. Most of these seem to be .44's, so I think I might have an earlier (and better made) version. The pistol is missing a lot of parts, but the major stuff is there. The hand grips are not...
