    Squirrel Hunting Attire

    The Capotes were made by NW Traders. http://www.nwtrader.com/ The orange one was a special as that is not a color you will find in their offerings. But, they were very easy to work with and had the blanket made up special so they could make the Capote. I had talked to several other capote...

    Another Kibler Hog

    Congrats. Glad you found it. 👍 My wife is an exceptional tracker. Me, being red/green color deficient, not so much, though surprisingly I'm many times the one that finds the tiniest speck. Perhaps because I'm looking so hard.

    Squirrel Hunting Attire

    I usually don't start squirrel hunting until its cold out, so I use my same traditional attire as for deer hunting. If no gun big game season is open, my grey capote. My orange one if a big game season is open. Grandson's first squirrel (with his unmentionable Christmas gift).

    second SMR hog

    I use the Johnson Peep Sight available from Muzzleloader Builders Supply but install the Williams aperture. All adjustments must be done via the front sight since this is a fixed peep. https://www.muzzleloaderbuilderssupply.com/mbs3cart/agora.cgi?cart_id=4250076.22712&next=25&product=Sights

    Conical for bull elk

    Can't speak to shooting elk, but can to using peeps for hunting...and well under 50 yards too! I have shot whitetails at very close range...10-15 yards...no problem with peeps. I normally use a .125 aperture for hunting and it allows me good shooting dusk to dawn. A .150 aperture is also good...

    White Deer

    Quite a hunt. 👍 I wish people would just walk up to me and offer their hotspot hunting land for my enjoyment!!! 😁

    second SMR hog

    Congrats on the hog. Looks like a dandy! 👍 I use a .125 aperture and it allows me our legal 1/2 hr before sunrise to 1/2 hr after sunset. On cloudy days where it gets light a little later or dark a little earlier, a .150 works a little better. I don't use a set trigger when hunting. One...

    If You Order From Pecatonica Beware Of Shipping Issues With USPS

    One thing I found that can help is one's own local post office. I had a shipment cycling through three USPS distribution centers for weeks. I tried the National USPS lack of Help Line with zero results. I called my small town local postmaster who went into their system and did some action...

    Round ball and blood trails

    Have been ML hunting for 24 years (was all bow for 25 years prior) taking a lot of northern whitetails including large bucks. I have used .50, .54, and .62 with both PRB and conicals in .50 and .54. I shoot from 80 to 105 grs of 2f with 90 being the most common. Only a couple of those deer...
