    Record cap price

    I took my wife to the doctor 65 miles from here. There is a very large sporting goods store there so I stopped in on the way home to see if they had caps and powder. I asked the guy at the front and he said that they had caps but no powder because nobody buys that stuff anymore since they...

    Retirement for an old hunter

    I revisited this post I made back in 2012 to bump it up because I thought some might enjoy reading Teddy’s description of the old “retired” hunter. I wanted to reread it as I lost the book when we moved and downsized.

    Shot the Philly Derringer today to check penetration.

    Maybe short on science but long on fun. When SHTF a small gun is far better than no gun. To paraphrase Masaad Ayoob, it is very hard to remember your primary objective when you are dealing with a sucking chest wound

    Saturday was so cool I fired up the forge.

    Good looking folder. I like the photo of it on the trade beads

    How do you eat them

    I tried some “artisan milled” locally grown rice grits. Garden and Gun award winner and several other awards. I had never heard of such. I thought, “ how could they taste like anything but rice?” I followed the directions exactly as written, they said use water or chicken broth so I chose...

    How far must you travel to hunt?

    35 minutes to a WMA or 20 minutes to a friend’s farm for everything but turkey, that’s about an hour to corps of engineers land. The photos are 30 yards out my back door, I could bow hunt there but orders from the war department strictly prohibit that so I just feed them and enjoy watching them

    Cheating In Matches

    It’s funny the number of people who didn’t understand how cheating could be accomplished until examples were given by the ones who had actually witnessed it. I’m guessing that most of the folks who post here would never consider cheating so they haven’t really thought out methods to cheat. But...

    Field/Farm Use of Cap & Ball Revolver

    Before I retired I worked for a natural gas company and folks called me Gasman but I kinda think that was due to my love of red brand and rice.

    Walnut hulls

    Green (unripe) walnuts have a thick outer husk (for want of a better word) that you have to remove to get to the nut itself. If you handle them much they will turn your hands a nice brown color. When the nut ripens the “husk” turns black. The husk is where the dye comes from. The hulls (shells)...

    Hunter Harassment

    Have never heard of any antis around here, I don’t think it would work out well for them. We have more than our share of idiots that ruin your hunting though. Beautiful woods ruined by litter and shot up posted signs. Night hunters and road hunters. I have told on a previous post about how hard...

    Beans and rice

    First deer I killed was in 1967, got it home and hung it from a tree in the back yard. As my buddy and I went to work gutting and skinning it (neither of us had ever done that before) my mother got the liver and went to work on it. She par boiled it and then cooked it with onions and then...

    Not your typical hunt

    I was digging through some stuff and found this little 1/2 charge powder measure. It throws 35 gr. and my hunting load was 70. Before we got so many lawyers you could walk bayou and ditch banks on most anyone’s farm and shoot or hunt. I tire of knocking holes in paper pretty quickly so I made up...

    Beans and rice

    I fix these every week or so and just did Saturday. My wife is a yankee and wants bratwurst in her RB&R (sacrilege) so I throw her a couple of whole ones in to maintain the peace.

    Beans and rice

    I lived in Amelia, La. the last 2 years of the 60’s. My landlord’s wife, Mama Gaudet made red beans and rice, usually on Monday, with no recipe, just a lot of soul. . She showed me her way and I do pretty doggone well but she couldn’t bottle up some of that soul for me and my best batch is not...
