It isn't everyday you get a person talented enough to take a 150 year plus something and make it useable. I just want to say once again Thank You Jim!!!! Your talent IS greatly appreciated The photo to follow shows a precussion half stock made around 1850 that I found and 2M's made into a shootable masterpiece.
Proof is in the picture!!!!!

Here is a picture showing some of Twomoons handywork, along with Don's buck. This is the second deer posted here, this year, that was taken with 19th century weaponry that twomoons had worked on. There was some question as to whether this one would be ready for this season. Not only was it ready, it bagged a nice buck. Twomoons comes through again....



Both Deputy Don and Bounce bagged their bucks in about as traditional a way as one can get, using 150 year old guns, and round balls, of course... Bounce gets top honors though, even though Don got a whopper, since his Jager still has the original barrel. Hell, I don't know, maybe twomoons muzzleloader is an original too..

Nice buck, D-D! I bet you didn't flinch!
That's a lovely rifle, too. Kudos to Twomoons for keeping the antiques going.

Thank You

That's Way Cool! Both the Deer and the halfstock.

Hell of a deer Dep-Don. The picture you sent me was awsome to say the least. How old, 4-5 years old??
Good job.

[deputydon]

I'll age it at Lewon's. I'm guessing 3 1/2 years old. Mineral licks seem to help things along. But thats another thread!!!

[Bill]

Yes they do as my two brother in laws can attest to that. I bet they have more mineral lic's on their farms than they do cattle. ;D But then they have more deer on their farms than they do cattle too.

[Jack]

Hmmmmmmm
You fellas out there in that windy country aren't baiting 'em, are ya?
I mean, that would be just... um.... clever. ;D ;D
I bet the wind blew the mineral blocks onto your property! Yeah, that's it.... the wind did it...yeah.

[Bill]

I was talking about Kansas Jack. Seems that Kansas don't mind if you put out mineral licks all over the place. The less deer the happier they are down there. That means less car accidents. Man if you want to know how many deer are in an area just read the Sheriff's report on number of car deer accidents.

[Jack]

Bill, I understand the car/deer part! The county I live in leads NY state in car/deer accidents. The problem is that it's all suburbs, so there isn't any place to hunt the deer. The car ends up being the deer's only predator.
Earlier this week there was a dead deer on the other side of the road from my driveway, obviously hit the night before.
I know state regs vary a lot on what's allowed as far as supplements and baiting. In NY, a state Conservation officer better not see a mineral block in an area you're hunting. Consequently, the practice in NY is throw the block in a pail of water, boil it until dissolved, and pour it over a stump.
So I hear, anyway.

[deputydon]

Mineral licks aren't for deer season. They are for Feb thru August to make sure the deer Bucks and Does get what they need. But again this is for a differant thread

[dakota]

When you shot that deer, "Did the ball pick the deer up and fling it across a fence?"

[deputydon]

:DWell yes and no...............

[bounce]

the way I heard it I think it was several fences, LOL Mine droped on the spot, no blowing over the fence or out of mouth....smiles
