Wild Boar Hunting Knife
This Sunrise River Wild Boar Hunting Knife is very practical and very attractive knife - and just about perfect for the intended use. Despite its length (15.5" overall in sheath), it rides comfortably on my hip when chasing dogs and hogs through the Florida swamps - and it looks great at the same time. A very tough, sharp, rugged, and attractive knife that can be custom-ordered to suit the buyer.

Savage 10ML-II Muzzleloader
This is a more detailed review of the Savage 10 ML-II muzzleloading rifle, which is the only widely-available muzzleloading rifle that will safely shoot smokeless powder loads. The rifle is 50 caliber and does well with black powder as well as several smokeless powder I have tried in it.

Rifle Scope on a Shotgun?
Questions about rifle scopes and shotguns have been around for years, especially in the years since the advent of the fully-rifled barrel and very accurate shotgun slugs. Folks with spare rifle scopes, or who choose a rifle scope because there are so many more types available than shotgun scopes, want to put them on their slug guns. Problem is, this really isn't a good idea...

Florida Hog Hunting at its Best, page three - The dogs strike the first hot trail and an angry boar meets its match
This Florida hog hunt was one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Besides the nice custom-made knife that I got even before the hunt began, the day included my first knife-killed boar and a 230-pound monster which I killed with a Sig pistol.

Savage 10ML-II Muzzleloading R
This is an awesome rifle. Savage is the one and only manufacturer making a rifle that can handle smokeless powder. That means DO NOT SHOOT SMOKELESS POWDER in any other muzzleloading rifle unless it is expressly marked as such (a few custom rifles will handle it). I love this rifle and what it's capable of, especially since the price is lower than other inlines that lack its flexibility. This rifle shoots black powder very well, and will also burn smokeless, Pyrodex, and 777. Me, I'm hooked.
