      Anybody Know if Gilbert Harrell Still Does Taxidermy?

      Hi all. I am in need of a taxidermist. I was hoping to go back to Gilbert Harrell, but either his contact information has changed or he is no longer in the business. I know Charlie Fegan and Hitchcock are near me. Does anybody else have any recommendations for a taxidermist in Central...

      Plan for Finding Best Load for New Muzzleloader

      UPDATED on May 18, 2015 I have been busier than expected, but managed to make a quick trip to the range yesterday to test some of the load combinations. So far, I am not too impressed with the results. I hope that groups shrink down to 2 M.O.A. or below once I move up to the 290-300 grain...

      Trying to Find Barnes TMZ Bullets

      I am trying to find Barnes 50 caliber TMZ bullets in both 250 and 290 grains. They are out of stock everywhere it seems. Midway says they won't be in until almost July. Does anyone know anywhere they are in stock?

      Hunting Scope Choice: 2-7x32 vs 3-9x40

      I am looking to buy a scope for hunting purposes. On hunting firearms, I am use to 3-9x40 scopes. In low light hunting situations, do you give up much, if any, performance in a 2-7x32 (or 33) as compared to a 3-9x40. This would assume you are comparing scopes of the same line and optical quality.

      Deer Hunting Regs Change -- Bonus Buck Stamp

      I wanted to pass this info along to others in case you are not aware of it. So far this season I've taken a doe and a small buck in archery season so I thought I would re-read the regulations just to be on the safe side. I always purchase a bonus antlered deer stamp when I buy my license...

      Finally Got My Shoulder Mount Back

      I shot this 8 pointer on opening day of the MD firearms season last year and dropped it off with Gilbert Harrell. These pictures really don't do justice to the quality of his work. The detail in the mouth, nostrils, tear ducts, and eyes is amazing.

      Bullet vs Powder Manufacturer Load Data

      Hi folks. I've been doing a bit of reading on this subject and wanted to get the opinion of those here wiser than I am when it comes to reloading. Last year I worked up some loads for my .308 using data in the Sierra manual. I did not go over the maximum load as I was very nervous my first...
