Squirrels Beware.
Right on, emery. Good shot on some fine eating. Congrats.
Unfortunately, the ole gal just informed me that I need to bring in two more deer in oder to get us through the next year. Between squirrel hunting and deer hunting, it’s going to call for some slick balancing out to get them both done.
Congratulations. good clean shot.
Emery, I must say you have some fine looking rifles!!
That he does.
Well done

Well, you poor thing, what with being sent out by the wife to do more hunting.
My wife wonders how I can spend so much time preparing to hunt and hunting. She's not opposed, just doesn't get it.
Not complaining. I often wonder how she has put up with me for 55 years
Yep! Good job.

Mr. emery,
I am quite jealous of you. To date, you have reported 8 squirrels. Now you get a lovely yearling (I think) and shoot it perfectly high in the front shoulder so it can't run. Next you take a wonderful picture of the deer bathed in warm autumn sunlight combined with your gorgeous flintlock. You live at the eastern end of the Micheaux State Forrest, and I live at the western end. I can't find a squirrel and spent 10 hours in a tree stand yesterday. I didn't see a deer.
Are you dancing around a bon fire at midnight, under a full moon, while shaking a sacred rattle, to honor the woods spirits? Please share your secrets. I am desperate.

Congratulations, me Emery, and ETipp, now, my Crockett has arrived, tell me guys, cleaning acudderments, and where to get it
32 cal, Crockett, jag, worm, puller
Patch puller, is there a lot with all
These??? What cleaning patch size
For the 32 cal?? And you guys favorite, patch, ball, and powder do
Recommend? I have swiss 2f,3f
10 15 20 thou patches on hand need
A good place to start, on the jag
Subject, y'all like button jags or the
Longer jags, and if you might Kno
The thread size of the factory ram rod, and if I haven't ask enought already, the nipple size on this
Crockett? Still in the box, I only
Got it out, and handled it, need to shoot it before I have a spell.
You can get your jag, ball puller, and patch puller at alot of different places TOW, log cabin, midway usa, even Amazon. Use your swiss 3f somewhere between 15 and 20 gr. You will have to play with patch thickness, I have a Cherokee and it likes .15 pillow ticking. And myself I like a longer cleaning jag. Thread size on your ramrod should be 10/32. And number 11 caps for your nipple.

10-4. Men, thank you, do they offer
.018. Cut pre lubed ?? For the 32 cal?
I'm not sure about .018 pre cut and lubed. I just picked some up at shooting supplie shop. After hear about it.
I recently stated to cut and lube my own
Another ETipp tip Mink Oil from TOTW.
It made a difference in loading, cleaning, possibly accuracy.
I shot alot of RMC OX YOKE pre cut and lubed. I had good groups. Just like the way I'm doing it now. Once ya get her out and shot some you'll find what's best for you and your gun.
I know your going to be happy with it.
