Guys please wish me luck Saturday
its been terrible so far for our Black powder season. Usually by now I would have at least 1 deer in the freezer .
We have had unusual warm weather combined with full moon .. there has not been 5 shots heard in a weeks time
Saturday is opening day for gun season and a Waning Gibbous moon (down to 43 % Saturday) and I will be carrying a Henry 45 Colt for its maiden hunting trip
I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

Few people hunt the feared Waning Gibbous and live to tell the tale. Best of luck!

I am up this weekend. Hope you are successful.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Come on up. While mountain biking on our property, Sunday, nearly collided with a beautiful six point (3x3) buck.

Yup. Not sure the exact date, but the moon was beautiful, last night. Very close to full, if not full.

Oh, wait, I thought you said "wailing gibbon".
