    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I had an older friend that loved Wild Turkey. He passed almost 20 years ago from Lou Gehrig’s disease. I bought a bottle in his memory, but it just sits in the cabinet, never opened it.

    Glad you got your Track shipment! Why I didn’t just hit the head of the screw with a file a few times to flush it is a mystery. Obviously had my mind somewhere else, but I’ll work to get them re-indexed.

    I’ll have to give that a try. The steel looks like it will take a very sharp edge. Thanks Rich.

    Had time for one more shop project this afternoon before I ran out of steam, but I didn’t want to do anything highly technical. I was given a French Opinel folding knife 5-6 years ago as a gift and I’ve never used it because I thought it was too shiny. I sanded off the old finish and scuffed up...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Thanks Tom! I keep an assortment of old wood screws on hand, not as many as I’d like to have, but I was able to find a pair of short ones that just stopped short of the butt plate screw. I change my mind about metal finish every day. I haven’t browned anything in a while, so I was leaning...

    Gardening ..again

    Please try some raised beds next year. The effort will be worth it. A lot less weeds, if any, to deal with.

    What's your go to lube recipe?

    Actually, the bear grease that I got from @deerstalkert is superb used as is. I have gotten to where I use more spit patches on the range, but like @Moleman said, my spit usually/always has some tobacco in it. Doesn’t hurt a thing.
