    NEW T/C Hawkens!

    The Kibler and TC Hawken comparison is interesting. Hard to imagine that that Kibler would not be superior, especially if price is close.

    FOR SALE New Squirrel Hunting Book................

    Hey Ed, In your excellent book you write about the sounds that squirrels make. Although it’s an aspect I have not paid enough attention to I have observed an unusual squirrel sound after missing at close range, with the .45 toward evening so the boom and flash were high and right on his tail...

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

    Agreed that the other critters are more of a concern than the snakes, at least for me. I see yellow jackets active at the slightest warm up in the fall and even early winter. Had one serious bout of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever when I was much younger, so I now check for ticks thoroughly. I...

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

    For those of you that squirrel hunt in warmer weather or warmer climates how frequent have your venomous snake encounters been? Speaking as one who squirrel hunts with a half blind dog, I prefer not to see a venomous snake. I'm sure the vet bill for a snake bite would be pricey, if the dog...

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

    Just wondering how many of us are using original rifles, percussion or flint, to hunt squirrels. Probably discussed already but there are now 100 pages to this thread. Very popular subject. Jeff

    SQUIRREL HUNTING RIG

    Is there enough barrel meat in the Crockett to bore to .36? There are probably a few rusty ones for sale at a price to make a rebore affordable. Jeff

    Squirrel Hunting- The Traditional Way Book

    Thank you, Ed Wading Indiana streams for rock bass was a downright favorite for me as a teenager, smallmouth too. Good to have an alternate if squirrels are not cooperating. This could be an enjoyable campground.

    I like the looks of the river. Might bring a spinning and fly rod along. Got to be some largemouth and panfish in that stream. Jeff

    Squirrel Hunting- The Traditional Way Book

    Hello Ed, Sounds like a good spot, less developed. Do you an address or name of the campsite? I'd like to look at it on Google Earth or some other way, maybe get a look at the river. Thanks again for all of your efforts. Jeff

    Tim, I'll be camping under similar circumstances. Ed will know better than me but I'm guessing that weather should be mild in mid-October. Looking forward to meeting everyone who is attending. Ed, thanks for all the effort you've put into the planning. Jeff

    Ed, Sounds like you found a promising place for squirrel hunting. What's the river like, any smallmouth? Jeff

    I like them Ed. I am considering a Crockett myself. I think the balance is better than any of the rifles I use now.

    SQUIRREL HUNTING RIG

    Not sure if I posted a picture of this one yet. I should have photo'd the bag and rifle too. It's for my .34 caliber caplock, my first BP squirrel rifle. A Cory Joe Stewart horn, he makes good stuff. Jeff

    Pilgrim, I like your sense of family in passing squirrel hunting to your grandchildren, you will definitely be making future memories for them. Love the very thought of it.

    Family memories are a blessing indeed. I am fortunate to have dad’s gun that he taught me to hunt with. Mom made sure I got it when he passed. It’s used once or twice a season then carefully cleaned and stored. Any squirrel hunters here hunt with family guns?
