MODERN & TRADITIONAL MUZZLELOADING







The Overlooked .22 WMR:
By J. Wayne Fears

Often misunderstood, the .22 Mag is a serious stopper of small game up to 20 pounds.

I never told my hunting companions the caliber of the Henry lever-action rifle I was carrying. They just assumed it was a .22 Long Rifle.

We were on a mission for a church wild game supper. Thanks to its many members who were hunters, the church had a wide variety of wild game to serve, but an old favorite was in short supply. Many wanted to try raccoon, and I had been recruited to come up with one quickly.

A friend had two Walker hounds that I knew would help make finding a raccoon quick and easy. Several members of the church group putting on the supper wanted to tag along on the hunt.

The dog’s owner and I had an audience as we followed the dogs in a large river bottom swamp. Soon, as I had predicted, the two Walkers were hot on the trail, their sweet music filling the air. In short order, they began the baying that told us the raccoon had taken refuge in a tree.

The dogs were circled around a large water oak. The big raccoon was just a ball of fur in the top of the tree.

“You can’t take him with that little .22,” one in the group stated. Another added, “That coon will still be alive when he hits the ground.”

Thompson/Center Arms Introduces IMPACT!SB Muzzleloader

The Thompson/Center IMPACT!SB muzzleloaders are available in a variety of patterns and finishes, including the latest Realtree and Mossy Oak camouflage patterns.

“The new Thompson/Center IMPACT!SB muzzleloader incorporates some of Thompson/Center’s most innovative features at an entry-level price point, including fiber optic sights, a hand removable triple lead thread breech plug, Power Rod, and Quick Load Accurizor (QLA) for trouble-free loading," Brand Manager for Thompson/Center Arms, Danielle Sanville, said. "The new T/C IMPACT!SB provides an excellent value - whether you’re a seasoned hunter looking to expand into muzzleloading, or a first-time hunter searching for a feature-rich muzzleloader at a great price.”

Available in multiple patterns and finishes, the T/C IMPACT!SB muzzleloaders are offered in both a Blued and Weather Shield corrosion-resistant finish to protect against the elements. The new T/C IMPACT!SB also includes a 1” removable buttstock spacer, allowing the user to adjust the length of pull to best suit clothing choice and weather conditions in the field, as well as increased versatility and better fit for smaller-statured hunters. The T/C IMPACT!SB is offered at an MSRP starting at $263.

Losing The Right To Hunt ......
by Toby bridges


We're closer to losing all opportunities to hunt than many of you may realize. There are many people ... anti-hunting organizations ... and state, federal and global agencies which are hell bent to eliminate hunting. And, yes, some of those "agencies" include a number of so-called "Game & Fish" departments. How they are accomplishing a well funded effort to put an end to hunting just may surprise you. This article shares a look at a new 2022 website which aims to counter the efforts and lies of that anti-hunting movement.

Note from MountainGnome Online: We have an old saying in the hunting, farming, and ranching community about these over populated predators..."SSS"!! Continued...
10 Deer Hunting Myths Debunked

Misconceptions:

A talking head on outdoor TV puffs his chest and declares, “Man, the full moon is the worst time to hunt!” Sounds pretty good, and you buy it. Your daddy told you never to overhunt a spot, and you never doubt Pops. Stands to reason that if another hunter tromps too close to your treestand, your day is ruined, right?

Uh, no, to all three of the above. Let’s change your thinking on some misguided beliefs about big deer and how to hunt them.

1.) Big bucks always move at dawn and dusk
Whitetail deer are crepuscular animals, so yes, bucks move most often at dawn and dusk.

But not always.

A few years ago in Canada, I shot one of my best bucks ever, a 300-pound giant with a 183-inch rack, at 3 p.m. A good 75 minutes before dark one December day in Iowa, I slugged a 165-inch buck in a strip of standing soybeans.

It’s not just me. Hunters from all over the country are killing 160- to 190-inch deer during the “off” hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

If you have always hunted the first two hours and the last two hours of daylight, you should put in more stand time. One old saying is still true: You can’t shoot a buck back at camp. Stay on post later in the mornings, until 11. Go in early in the afternoons and get settled by 2 p.m., latest.

The cooler the weather the better, so definitely maximize your time on stand on chilly days during the season. Deer linger longer around food sources and in nearby funnels in the mornings, and they’ll often move earlier in the afternoons. And this goes without saying: During the first 15 days of November, stay out all day — you might kill a giant anytime.

TREASURES OF READING
Folks, here are some great books to read...THIS IS A MUST READ!


Buy Today...Great Reading!! Fury In The Ashes
by William W. Johnstone (Author)


...the natural enemy of every free man is his government


Freedom fighters must clear the California coast of mutant cannibals and punk gangs in the post-apocalyptic adventure from a USA Today–bestselling author.

To the few who survived the Great War, their reward was a cruel joke. The politicians had told them that all the major cities of the world had been destroyed, and it was only years later that Ben Raines and his legion of dedicated warriors learned the truth. The vast metropolises of America's West Coast had become bastions of mutant Night People and thousands of well-trained, well-armed punk street gangs eager to fight all those who threatened their empires of lust and murder.

It's a great big dirty mess, but Ben Raines and his army is willing to make any sacrifice necessary to mop up California from San Francisco to Los Angeles and strike a final blow for freedom's cause…


…Order yours today!".

COMFORT FOOD



Why You Need to Try Black Bear Meat Now
Recipe: Polish Kruschicki (Bow Ties)

These are our favorite cookies for Christmas. About as addicting as potato chips! Mom would make tons of them - a roasting pan full! We would just keep them on the dining room table and every time you walked by you had to take a few!

For storing these cookies, just cover lightly with aluminum foil so they stay crispy. Traditionally, Kruschicki (hrrooss-CHEE-kee) are associated with the pre-Lenten feasting of Mardi Gras. In America, Kruschicki or Polish crullers are served at any special occasion.
    Ingredients:

    For the Cookies:
  • 6 egg yolks
  • ½ pint sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon whiskey
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

  • Preparation Instructions:

  • Step 1
    Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks, sour cream, white sugar, vanilla and whiskey until smooth. Stir in flour until dough is stiff enough to knead. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Knead in additional flour if necessary. Divide dough into 3 or 4 pieces and roll each ball on floured surface. Cut into strips about 3 inches long then make a slit long ways down the middle. Pull one of the ends through like a bow.
  • Step 3
    Place into hot oil and deep fry until golden brown. Let drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

All the Ways Google Tracks You—And How to Stop It
by David Nield


Google knows more about you than you might think. Here's how to keep it from tracking your location, web browsing, and more.

You're probably aware that Google keeps tabs on what you're up to on its devices, apps, and services—but you might not realize just how far its tracking reach extends, into the places you go, the purchases you make, and much more. It's an extensive set of data, but you can take more control over what Google collects about you and how long the company keeps it. Here's how.

It's worth emphasizing first that we're really dealing with two topics: The amount of data Google collects on you, which is a lot, and what Google then does with it. Google would say its data collection policies improve its services—helping you find a restaurant similar ones you've liked previously, say—whereas users might disagree.
