Up here in NH...you need written landowner permission for anything...most of our "public land" accessible for hunting is in the hands of Private Conservation organizations, managed under easements - open to the public, but not state-owned, and they all manage them differently...so it's...

Parker Trailblazer XP... ...got it with outfitter package when the local trading post was clearing them out for $350...still $550 in most places. 50# for routine play...60# for deer season. PSE Radial X-Weave carbons with Wasp Hi-Tech Hammer SSTs on the cutting end. Added some...

I'm a fan of the Wasp Hi-Tech Hammer SSTs... ...admittedly I've never passed one through a deer - but they require no reajustment of my sights when switching from the field points and Pass deeper into my shotblocker bowhunter than the field points. You've probably already read a few...

Maine requires 2 articles of Orange - a Hat that must be 100% Blaze Orange - and at least 100 sq inches on the torso - but that can be camo patterned. New Hampshire does not require any orange at any time, but strongly recommends it at all times. Personally, I use the Maine template...my...

Came UPS Yesterday. As for low powder charges...the Manual states no more than 150 grains BP or Substitute, but no less than 80 grains. I wonder why that is. No way 60 or 70 grains of Blackhorn is going to leave a sabot lodged in the barrel. Haven't gotten to shoot at all yet, but I...

My goal is to SEE a deer... but primarilly, first and foremost, I intend to locate new hunting spots. Up here in the parts of NH/ME that I frequent, you really have to know somebody. Private land is the only way to go...but you have to be rich to own land in new england...and rich...

I ordered one in flat black yesterday. If it doesn't work out for me...the Trading Post down the way takes trades and buys used firearms. Will be here in a week. Good luck to Bullwinkle if they also jump on the bargain (hope it's a bargain)...

I am also interested in the Brutus 94, more because of price than anything. Although - if anyone recalls the previous thread I started regarding recoil - the 94 seems to be a good compromize between my desire for a modern in-line and the longing for tradition. Not that the old Winchester...

Maine is a bit more generous: "Only muzzleloading firearms that are 40 caliber or greater and capable of firing only a single charge may be used to hunt deer during this season. Muzzleloading firearm means a firearm that is capable of being loaded only through the muzzle; is ignited by a...

Thanks Thanks for the speedy replies. I only hunt the Maine woods - no long range shots, no scopes - and the .357 lever action is my go to brush-gun. I like the flexibility to extend the season that muzzleloading affords, and some of your replies have me rethinking the modern in-line...

Question all... Researching Modern In-lines but am Recoil Sensitive. My main hunting rifle for the Maine woods - shots under 60 yds - is a .357 lever action firing 158 grain JHP deer rounds. Almost no recoil there. Would like to know if the following would work if I were to pick up a new...
