MODERN & TRADITIONAL MUZZLELOADING
Field Shooting Effectively
By Ron Spomer When your target of opportunity knocks, you need to answer in seconds. Greg was as enthusiastic as an 8-year-old on Christmas morning. His first pronghorn hunt! He had a new .257 Weatherby Magnum with a Zeiss scope that could shoot a country mile. Back home on the bench, he was punching sub-MOA groups with 115-grain Barnes Tipped Triple Shocks. Now the buck of his sweet dreams was emerging from a grassy swale — first the deeply hooked tips, then long, jutting prongs supported by broad, fat bases. “That’s a great buck,” his guide said. “Shoot him.” The guide kept his eyes glued to the binocular to see the hit. But it didn’t come. Seconds ticked by. The buck began prancing nervously, stopped broadside and looked back. “Take him now. Perfect broadside shot,” the guide said. Nothing. He glanced over to see Greg put away his rangefinder and begin fiddling with his scope’s magnification ring. “No need for that. He’s inside 250 yards. Just shoot him.” “I wanna crank the power up to 12x.” The guide waited patiently. The pronghorn didn’t, trotting out to 280 yards, still dead-on range for the .257. And still Greg didn’t shoot. He had folded out his bipod legs and lain prone. In his scope, he saw what the guide knew he’d see: grass. Nothing but grass. He sat back up and tried to pull the bipod legs out farther. “Forget it,” the guide said. “He’s gone.” Guides hate this kind of stuff, but it happens all too often. Hunters, many of them darn good shots at home, waste too much time playing with their gear when they should be shooting. Continued...

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. 7.) Hang your bow stand at least 25 to 30 feet high. Granted, at 25 feet or higher a buck will not see or smell you. But if you’re like me and most other people who are a little to very leery of heights, admit it, you’re uncomfortable climbing and posting that high on a small platform. Standing and drawing your bow is awkward to nerve-wracking. Plus, the higher you hunt, the narrower the target of a deer’s lung vitals, and the tougher the shot. After hanging and hunting from too many treestands to count over the years, I firmly believe that anywhere from 17 to 21 feet is the perfect height for a stand. High enough so that if you play the wind right, sit still and make all the right moves, a buck won’t bust you. Low enough that the stand feels solid, safe, and comfortable under your boots. When a buck comes in broadside within 40 yards, you have a killer sight picture and shooting angle to his vitals. NEVER USE MODERN SMOKELESS POWDER IN A MUZZLELOADER!

The Ultimate Tor Browser Guide for 2022
by Sean McGrath What is Tor Browser? Tor Browser is software that allows you to browse the web anonymously.

That's why many people end up researching how to use Tor. After all, who doesn’t want to maximize their security by browsing the internet anonymously? Or investigate something called the “dark web”?

Safari 15 bug exposes your search history and personal identifiers to websites by Danka Delić A fingerprinting and fraud detection service, FingerprintJS, has recently discovered and described a bug in Safari 15 that can track browsing activities and even reveal your identity to websites. Everyone using the latest version of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, as well as the Safari browser users, is at risk of data leaks. About the bug: The Safari 15 bug originates from Apple's implementation of JavaScript API, called IndexedDB. The implementation, however, violates the same-origin policy of IndexedDB – a principal security mechanism that restricts documents and scripts from one origin to interact with resources from another. This results in the bug allowing one website to access a database of another website, whereas in normal conditions, this should never be the case. As a rule, indexed databases each have a separate origin, and documents and scripts of one origin should never be able to access different origin databases. Continued....
