    Big foot carrying a GPR! This is some of that old school camo I was telling you all about. The pic was taken at twilight so it’s not in color. Critters see me but don’t know what to think. I blend right in with the freshly fallen leaves. This stuff really works well. Yesterday while out...

    Thanks fellas. It isn’t much and definitely not the one I’ve been looking for, but she is groceries and she will make do for now. A couple more and I’ll be done then back to full throttle squirrel hunting.

    I’m still behind on my deer hunting and I usually don’t take pictures of doe deer, but this is a first for my .54 GPR. It’s a start so maybe I can get back to doing some squirrel hunting, at least a little bit now that I can see a little better. Pretty good size ole gal for these parts.

    Just about fed up…

    Whatever, bud. MOA matters not if the rifle doesn’t fire. This is a process of elimination. You have been given good input from several of us on here, yet you refuse to change from using inferior components rather than use tried and proven components. Assuming the nipple is the proper...

    Just about fed up…

    It very well could be an obstruction in the flash channel. But a saturated powder charge could still be it, depending on the patch material and an inferior lube. Perhaps I missed it but where did the OP state the misfire was 15 minutes after loading? I find it interesting that the only ML’s...

    Just about fed up…

    It can’t go off if certain lubes has saturated into poor quality patching material causing the powder charge to not ignite. That will not happen with high quality ticking of the proper thickness and a high quality, proven lube.

    Just about fed up…

    Why are you using a Tee shirt patch??? Why Blue Goo lube??? .530 RB, .018 quality ticking, 90 grains 3F Swiss and TOTW Mink Oil lube will serve you well in a .54 GPR. The proper nipple is key. Patching material means everything. Even with ticking, poor quality will produce poor results. Just...

    The sight in went okay overall. I did not go to a gun range. Due to the location where I went, the sun and tall, wet grass was an initial problem. However, I was able to find another small area off to the side to put up my target. Everything still a little fuzzy at times so I made a larger 4”...

    So I saw something very unique today on my way back from sighing in my GPR and Mr. Crockett. It was on a very narrow, one-lane road coming out of the holler that I hunt and hang out in. A squirrel crossed the road in front of me. I had to have sunglasses on due to my recent eye work done. Just...

    36 caliber deer hunting

    After reading all of the replies to this thread I’m somewhat shocked, although I pretty much figured it was going to turn out that way. My first question is, why would anyone want to shoot at a deer with a .36 caliber? Unless you had no other larger caliber ML, or you simply want to do it just...

    I hope all of you PA squirrel hunters can get to the woods today and tomorrow to squirrel hunt before the ML orange army war begins.

    It will live. I have lost count on how many squirrels I have killed and/or seen with only half of a tail. Everyone of the squirrels I've killed like that were males that had obviously been fighting during a mating chase.

    Wife showed me a video she found on FB of a guy that cut a smaller tree, perhaps 4-5 inches in diameter. He was using a hand saw and the tree was fairly horizontal. He said he heard a screeching sound about half way through and thought it was his saw blade binding. When he cut all the way...
