Is the Tasmanian wolf ferocious?

The Tasmanian wolf, more properly known as the Thylacine, or even Tasmanian tiger, is now extinct. It was carnivorous, so it certainly had to be an aggressive hunter. However, it was a shy and reclusive animal which avoided people, and little in known about it. It was not ferocious when unprovoked, but it was a hunter.


What are facts about President Theodore Roosevelt?

He was once shot in the chest just before giving a speech, and went ahead and gave the speech anyway (as an experienced hunter, he knew that since he wasn't coughing blood, the bullet had not penetrated his lung), speaking for 90 minutes with blood seeping into his shirt. His opening address was "Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I've just been shot."


How can you tell were an old bullet came from?

If the bullet is not ball shaped, but conical (shaped like a missile or modern bullet), and it is pure lead (not copper jacketed) then it is most likely not prior to 1862; If it's jacketed probably not prior to 1871. Location of discovery will identify the bullet further (a battlefield or hunter's bullet). Cartridges Cartridges are marked on the bottom that can give a clue as to where it was produced. I once had some 8mm Mauser bullets in a box that I thought was German origin but they were actually Belgium. One clue was the color bands around the top that indicated armor-piercing. These color bands, if present, can also be helpful in identifying them.


Why would you want a muzzle loader?

I have shot muzzle loaders since 1974. They are fun to shoot. I've always loved fireworks and muzzleloaders are just another type of fire works. Muzzleloaders are also a way to experience history. You can get the feel of how soldiers had to fight in combat in the 1800's. If you hunt, then there is no purer and simpler form of hunting than just you and 1 shot using open sights. Most modern hunters use 4-wheelers to find their game and a high-powered rifle with scope that shoots out to 300 yards. Even some muzzleloader hunters use scope. I have a squirrel rifle muzzleloader and have shot a few squirrels with it. That takes practise and patience. Modern squirrel hunters usually fire 20 rounds from a semi-automatic. You have to be a good hunter to get a squirrel with 1 shot. Owning a muzzleloader rifle teaches you how to properly care for a gun. Black powder residue is so corrosive that if you don't clean them thoroughly and as soon as you get home, then it will immediately begin to rust. Go to any pawn shop and look at a used muzzleloader and you will usually see a rusted mess. Many gun owners don't worry about how to clean their guns; they may clean them after shooting them or they may not. Black powder does not allow you to be lazy. Fun. Excitment. Skill.
