Man, when I'm feeling burnt out, that's when I really NEED to go hunting.Probably won't be hunting this year. Feeling pretty burnt out, need to decide if it's really for me

I primarily bow hunt, so have less trouble with the people with itchy trigger fingers, but definitely know where you're coming from on the "less and less game" part - particularly the elk herds. On the other hand, if you like hunting bears and cougars, they seem to be plentiful.I believe he means burnt out on hunting. I'm in the same camp.
I got into hunting to get the flork away from people and put some meat in the freezer. The last several years I've seen more and more people with itchy trigger fingers shooting at movement and less and less game.
Red dot look sick on that old looking gun.Stainless Rossi .357 Mag with red dot..... The woods I hunt in are so dense that you would never have more than a 50 yard shot. I have the gun zeroed at 50 yards, this was my group at 100.

What's your secret for fighting rust? I struggle to keep my black powder guns from rusting even here on the dry side.My .54 Caliber Hawken Rifle.
It is my favorite rifle and the one that I shoot the best with.
Plus I know it works well for deer...and other critters.

100% substitute BP is Satan's work. Stuff starts rusting as it's fired. I've gone a whole season sept-dec early an late with a un cleaned rifle using real BP as fouler an zero rust. Just use a brush to knock down the black crust. But I also wax my steel.Cleaning my rifle ASAP after shooting....
( Not saying that you don't clean your rifle )
Not using any black powder substitute...In my experience those promote rust / corrosion far faster than actual black powder...
Edit to add :
Please note that others will argue that black powder substitutes ain't more corrosive than black powder..
I can only go with my experiences with it...using it with both antique and modern firearms.
When hunting ...a light coating of a mixture of bear grease / deer tallow on my rifle....
( A Light coating of RIG gun grease works well too )
When here at home...
I just check for rust fairly often...

Ah. I think you solved my problem. I have a bunch of Pyrodex I've been trying to use up…I agree with you...
And I have often gone a long time between cleanings with a muzzle loading firearm...without rust , while using actual black powder.
Won't even think about doing so with a black powder substitute.
And if you want hang fires....and the good old flash in the pan....just go right on ahead and use a black powder substitute in a flint lock....

Damn, I just bought a new bottle of Select RS last week. I guess I have a while before my penance will be satisfied.@M45A1
You are very welcome.
Once you get rid of all your Pryodex....to quote Doc Hoilday..."There , now we can be friends again."...
