    54 problems

    Agreed. Also, if you have not been successful in finding fired patches, then spread a tarp out in front of your shooting bench from about 10 feet to 30 feet. If there's any crosswind whatsoever and you are not able to find patches on the tarp, then look on the downwind side. It takes very little...

    I can see it now if I were to do that. "Hey, honey, look at all the squirrels that JimK got. See that fat chunky one on the end, its a female....................Smack!" "Back to the camper with you, Ed." Words have consequences, you know. Must choose wisely. :)

    Congrats on a fine hunt, Jim. You really found a good place this time. The fearsome Crockett Squirrel Rifle strikes again.

    Thank you, Jim. This morning I really do need to go get my climber, hunting suit and a few other items I left hanging on the tree I was up in yesterday before someone else decides they like them better than I do. It is so steep up there that I had no energy reserves to fall back on to back...

    😂. Thanks for that Tid-Bit but I think I cut it about as close I could. In all actuality, everything just happened to have worked out. KY has been in a moderate drought this year. It just so happens to be that this immediate area is worse off yet. The noise in the woods here from dryness has...

    Hey fellas. The big guy upstairs looked down and smiled upon me this morning. For the last month this ole boy has been hammering down trying to get enough meat in the freezer to hold us over until next year. That totally put a stop to my squirrel hunting. It’s been a rough year all the way...

    Best way to unload after an unsuccessful hunt?

    By far IF someone thinks they need to empty a ML during hunting season (without shooting at a critter) the best method would be via use of a C02 cartridge. At least you won't have to clean it and you will be able recover they projectile. The powder you will lose. If I know I'm going to be...

    Yes sir, most all the time. Unfortunately, its often some terrible song that I hate. Quite often something I heard on the radio earlier that day that gets stuck in my head for the remainder of the day. It usually requires some mighty willpower to over come it.

    That's great! Thanks for posting that. Made my day right off the bat. Squirrels are such cool little critters. Good luck not shooting him if you squirrel hunt in that area. Could be difficult to tell if its him or not if he's just sitting on a branch.

    Hard, brittle, and fast PRB for more damage?

    Absolutely correct. Maxi Balls has never let me down yet since back in the early 80's.

    No disrespect intended whatsoever here. This is not an attack on you. Everybody to their own thang. I’ve been reloading modern ammo for over 30 years. I have used the type of bullets you are seeking a lot, a whole lot in fact on deer and elk. With that said, for our traditional muzzleloaders...

    Ha, they have you fooled, Cruiser. Little do you know they are probably clandestinely plotting a major attack on you. No doubt there are sleeper cells of revengeful squirrels just waiting for the perfect time. Squirrels do not forget, you know. They have had a lot of time for preparations. I...

    Well done, Boom. I’m still trying to come up with anoer type of peep for my GPR. I do like that bulky and boxy Lyman 57 but I’m stuck with it until I can come up with something better.

    Recovered bullet pixs, lets see em!

    Top: .50 hard cast Maxi ball recovered from a large cow elk. Distance estimated between 125 and 150 yards, downhill and across a drainage. First shot hit, elk took about 5-6 steps then stopped behind a downed tree top and stood there. Reloaded, dropped back down onto one knee as a rest, then...
