Primitive hunting season edition. Just got back from packing the freezer this winter, with my .60 cal fusil de chase. What projects, events, or excursions have you been up to or have planned?
>>2793079>fusil de chase.why is the name in french, are you French?
>>2793079Only convicted felons hunt with black powder.If you want an actual challenge get a bow and learn to climb trees.
>>2793116Weapons are for pussies. You should only hunt what you can chase down and kill with your bare hands>b-b-but animals run faster than usLearn what endurance hunting is
>>2793079Based anon. I wish that I could own a boom stick here.... From what I've heard a black powder rifle isn't that hard to make.So who knows? Maybe one day I'll accidentally put some explosives in a bored rifle and stick some pellets there too for good measure. Who knows what'll happen.
>>2793110Because it's a copy of an 18thC French gun, I'm from a state that was originally a French colony, and yes, I am partially French. I'm sorry that this confuses and scares you, my mentally recessive anglo friend.>>2793116I also hunt with a bow, and with a modern firearm as well (That's how the turkey got in the oven this Thanksgiving). I don't climb trees because I actually hunt rather than lazily bait and wait like a faggot dressed as a bush in a tree >>2793156Where do you live that you can't own a gun?
>>2793187>I'm sorry that this confuses and scares you, my mentally recessive anglo friend.Nah that's cool fren, asked because I'm a frog myself.
>>2793079I just finished a whole new hunting bag, and started getting things ready to go out myself. I'm using a repro English trade gun though in .65.Snacks will be transferred into linen poke bags before going out though of course. >>2793116Convicted felons use modern black powder. History nerds use repros. Don't be an idiot. >>2793202NTA, but most Anglo-Americans can't comprehend anything outside of the movie "the patriot".
>>2793079Fucking awesome, Anon. How far was the shot?
>>2793206I recognize that pocket knife! Spoon-mogging anon from the EDC thread?
>>2793357Lol, yeah, that was me.>>2793357
>>2793116Based retard
>>2793079>>2793187That not a Fusil de Chasse. That a Northwest Trade Gun and they were made by the British. That serpent side plate and large trigger guard are a dead give away.Anyways this is my set up at an event and I couldn't be happier with how it looked. The locus log was the perfect fire reflector. And I had a shelf for all my stuff
My shooting bag with all my accessories.
>>2797128>Not knowing about 19thC French produced domestic copies and publicly spouting incorrect autismNGMI
>>2797189The Hudson Bay Company, who produced, traded, and sold that gun is English. And it was the English who copied the French and even the Dutch who had superior quality. Most natives desired the French guns over the English but after France lost its territorial gains in Canada and America the English monopolize the market and had enough colonists to produce them domestically. This is a late 1600's/early 1700's fusil de chasse.
>>2793079unnecessary threadthis entire board is larp
>>2797187>drinking horn?
>>2797200So... What you're saying is that it is still a French style gun with more steps?
>>2797213The big round one is the powder horn for loading the primary charge, the smaller flat one is the priming horn, filled with a finer grain of powder for the ignition.
>>2797247oh, cool. nice set up anon
>>2797246Its a 100% English design and in direct competition of what the French were doing they however enlarged the trigger guard for use in the winter and introduce in the 1770's. The lock itself was taken directly from the Brown Bess. There is quite a bit of information in Dewitt Bailey's book "British Military Flintlock Rifles" if you're intrested.Im super autistic about blackpowder guns.
>>2797266Not mine, just typical set up.
>>2797187thats a really nice kithow much did it cost you? and how much was made by hand?
>>2797278Well, you're certainly autistic
>>2793116I always hear this but everyone single person I've ever heard of or seen hunting with black powder rifles is either an old fashioned grandpa, a history autist, or both. Felons seem to like crossbows more than anything. Bow hunting is boring for me, especially if you're stuck in a tree. Stalking is way more fun and actually challenging than letting food plots and calls do the work for you.
Glad to see this thread is still going>>2797210Difference between larpers and LARPers: we actually go out. Pic is some of my kit from the last four day trek/sail up the James river I did with some bros. Late 16th/early 17thC English.
>>2798331That's pretty fucking cool, for nerd shit.
>>2798331Kino AF
>>2798331>the balls daggerHeh
>>2799029>Staring at my bollock knifeGAY.Also, I made for historic fencing.
Atlatl ,and blow dart, seem like very cool hunting weapons, but Im sure their mastery is burdensome, slow, and painstaking.
>>2799143they're pretty intuitive
>>2799053I wouldn't be able to fight with that since I'd be too busy giggling like a retard the whole time.>>2799143>>2799175You're entirely correct on all accounts, and there's a reason that well. Much every culture invented them, it's almost always a short blip on the technological timeline, before being superseded by bows.It's a fun novelty though.
Nothing to contribute just bumping a cool thread.
>>2793079>Primitive hunting season edition.>pic rel shows a firearmretard
>>2798122>Bow hunting is boring for me, especially if you're stuck in a tree>Stalking is way more fun and actually challengingThen just don't sit in a tree and stalk with a bow? I don't understand
>>2800582I just don't care for hunting with a bow, I grew up doing it being from a shitty state where you can only hunt deer with bows or shotguns, and it isn't my cup of tea. I also don't really hunt for fun anymore either. It's really just to stock up mine, my family, and friends' freezers. I just like hunting and stalking with a rifle more than with bows. Just feels nice, makes me think of how my grandpa's grew up hunting.
>>2800582>>2800588And you just reactivated a memory I had forgotten about for decades. Where I got my first shotgun kill at eight years old and my grandpa and dad spent the whole way back home all giddy and excited, singing 1000 nights by that Frank Marino band that was playing on the radio.
>>2800579You could have just loudly said that you have no idea what legally constitutes as primitive hunting in most regions. But here we are, with you spreading your gaping anus of ignorance.
Is bow hunting difficult?
>>2801230It depends.Are you good with a bow? Then no.Are you shit with a bow? Then yes.
>>2802923It's not just for fun. It's also for dinner. And your mom likes my penis just fine.
>>2798331Fucking loser
>look, this gun is like really old, so it counts as primitive huntingAny excuse to get a gun is good, tho
>>2802975
>>2802971You seem upset. Maybe you should get a good hobby, some friends, and actually go /out/, rather than being infinitely angry on the internet in your mother's basement.Hell, I met my wife through reenacting.
>>2802971
Glad to see that this third is still up! I'm going to dump some various pics of me and my historic maritime group doing campouts across the Florida keys.
>>2803927
>>2803928
>>2803930
>>2803931
>>2803928i hope you're fucking this slut.
>>2803939I have a GF, and the lady in the pic is gay.Go be a creepy incel elsewhere.
>>2797128holy kino!i just started talking to some guys apart of mountain man rendezvous' in my area.any advice or links to quality equipment?im a buy once, cry once kind of guy so i go for quality over price.also need a rifle and prefer one around a 1770's gun.
>>2803927>>2803928>>2803931>>2803931>>2803932Are ya'll with the crew of the Scavenger or Sloop's crew?Anyways, I was just baking some biscuit for a marching and bivouac event this weekend.>>2804116Okay, big question, and not judging: Are you doing frontier living history, or are you doing buckskinning/ mountain man stuff? The latter is more of a "frontier renfair" And it has a very different vibe, being less authentic, but can still be fun. What are you trying to go for looks wise? Where are you located? What culture do you have most interest in?
>>2804386i'd like to go for a more authentic look so living history would be my goal. as for looks...i havent thought about it. i do fur trapping already so i guess i'd like to be a fur trapper. I'm located south of Seattle. i enjoy the culture to my area but the natives get real uppity about every perceived slight. so i guess i'll stick with european.
>>2804410The natives have a right to get uppity with what they've had to deal with, And the kind of fucked up douchebaggery that mountain man types still constantly perpetrate. Don't be one of those douchebags, because getting in good with the natives in this hobby opens up a lot of opportunities.Seattle really pushes you into the 19th century and later. Are you looking to do something more 18th century or want to do later?
Bump
So how's everyone enjoying the winter weather? These pics of a guy in late Roman came up in my my Facebook memories, and thought that I should share
>>2807283
>>2807284
>>2807285
>>2804427>And the kind of fucked up douchebaggery that mountain man types still constantly perpetratelike what? native people dont have a monopoly on prehistory
>>2807989It's cringy white guys pretending to be natives, and spreading bullshit. That is the problem, faggot.
>>2808016you havent articulated yourself. if it was a bunch of crackers wearing feather war bonnets and singing 'hi ho wa" then yeah id agree thats appropriation at its worst but wearing buckskins and practicing primitive survival skills and crafts is not
>>2793079rendevouz sound based>"Mirth, songs, dancing, shouting, trading, running, jumping, singing, racing, target-shooting, yarns, frolic, with all sorts of extravagances that white men or Indians could invent.
>>2808016Whites are the natives of north america. Oldest remains are of of a white girl, drunken injuns colonizers came later.
>>2808048damn a new conspiracy theory dropped
>>2808048thats a stretch. i am sympathetic tothe solutrean hypothesis but even if that woman is X2 she would still not be considered white by most chud standards
>>2793079what are some good books that go over survival skills/trapper lore? everything that comes up in search is just harlequin romances
>>2808067https://www.amazon.com/Browns-Field-Guide-Wilderness-Survival/dp/0425105725A real classic
>>2800582stalking with a bow is unpractical and very easy to spook animals when you nock an arrow not to mention dangerous if you encounter dangerous animals
>>2808035What's to articulate? A bunch of boomers dressed as grizzly Adams like to spread bullshit about native Americans to make themselves sound cooler, and it's cringe as fuck.>>2808048>>2808052Congrats, you just discovered one of the Maine tenants of the Mormon cult.>>2808040It can be, as long as you're aware that it is. The early American equivalent of a renfair, you can have a lot of fun with it. >>2808067Muzzleloader magazine, and the compendiums of their best articles and documentation, called the books of buckskinning if you can find them, followed by various issues of the packet. Picture related
>>2808070>>2808120thanks anons. i liked naked into the wilderness vol 1 and 2 surprisingly it is NOT an erotic fiction lol
>>2808120>spread bullshit about native Americanslike what? that they were cringe or based
>>2808090get your mind and your spirit right and the animals wont be concerned with you. i routinely have birds and deer approach me when i am seated in the bushes
>>2808153Cringe. Old Boomer myths, and talking about them like they are extinct and such despite the fact that they are still very much around.
>>2808163aye. well most modern natives i know dont know jack shit about or care about the prehistory of the continent (no different than whites not knowing about the prehistory of europe or wherever)
>>2808193Go drink bleach
>>2808203he's not wrong though.most people dont care much for their history if they have their bread and circus.
>>2800588How's ground venison taste in spaghetti?
>>2808353Except he is, and you're just being obtuse. >>2808760Probably depends on how you spice it and prep it
>>2808193My university is running a prehistory research project right now
I bought a .243 winchester to hunt but I feel bad killing deer.
>>2808793It's not about prehistory. It's about contemporary history, and the interpretation thereof.
>>2801230There’s nothing easy about bow hunting. Max pain, start with rifle>all these east coastersGet out to the Rockies if you ever get the chance. Gaze in awe at my BBC(big beautiful cervid)300 win mag 400yds
>>2809324Why would I want to go be surrounded by Mormons? East Coast, best coast.
>>2809324I was yesterday maybe 1.5 km from my home up to the hills. A young red stag deer male with small horns jumped from birch trees in front of me at 40 meters.The bow is tempting but is illegal, but still... no onw will know.
>>2809482I heard central Europeans put a stick in the mouth of the deer they kill as a sign of respect.
>>2809588There is no way anyone will ever love you, you try hard faggot. Why not use the words that mean what you mean? Why take your shoe off? No one knows why try hard faggots do what they do. We theorize they desire attention like women.
>>2809589? Atention fow what? It is an anonime platform. Don't you see the paws of the deer?
Just made a new needle case/spool with an antler tip from last season's hunt. Completely done with only a small palm auger and pocket knife
>>2808793your university is white people who actually are interested in the prehistory of the continent and its links to the old world not natives who >wuz here for muh time immemorial
>>2810054Looks good, anon.
>>2797187ID on the poncho?
>>2810202Thanks, I only cut myself once the whole project.
>>2809324Beautiful bull anon, Very pretty 5x5. Just curious, how much $$$ did the Hunt run you and the cost to ship it all back?
>>2810340It's not a real project until you've bled on it
