I know that I haven't posted in quite awhile but, I thought I would share the two Garrett County bucks from this years hunts. The first pic is my big 6 point archery harvest and the second is an 8 point on opening day of rifle season. I have been in the woods a lot since early in the season...
There are a few of the Hooligans that shoot BPCR. 4570inMD and BigRick have been shooting up in Shippensburg, PA. I hope to join them next month. We are mostly shooting 1847 Sharps in various flavors. Shiloh and C. Sharps. J8064 has a really nice Perdersoli in 45-70. The cartridges we shoot...
H & H cartridges always intrigued me. I really don't have the need for a .375 but I can see myself owning a .300 H&H. You know, for chipmunks and such.
I am using a .408" 400 Grain "Money" 1-Cavity Bullet Mould with the First 2 Bands Reduced in Diameter #JIM408400M4 from Buffalo Arms. I am getting very good accuracy with 61 grains of Swiss 2F. I only use CCI BR-2 primers. Once I place my .030 Walters Wad, I compress the load and hand seat my...

During the lockdown I received my C&R license so I decided to spend my time constructively.
I picked up these two nice examples:
The first is a 1967 Ruger Bearcat and the second is a 1966 Colt National Match. All in all, I am pretty happy.
I was speaking to one of our DNRP's yesterday and he said that there were fewer hunters in Garrett and Allegany county this year. There are plenty of deer though, our clubs cameras are full of them.
