I am sorry to hear about your knee Muley hunter.. I hope it will hold up for you top get in your hunt before anything major takes place with it.. That uneven ground can be very painful on a guy with a bum knee..

I am new to this idea of black powder hunting.. So I will be following a lot of comments to learn as much as I can. I had a friend that used to go out with his back in the late 70s and man have things changed.. He used to shoot the cap and ball and he melted down his own lead to make his own.. Things appear so much easier now a days..

I also believe in taking care of you guns when coming back from a hunt whether it has been fired or not.. I was brought up with that understanding and see no need to take a risk of having any of them start rusting..
