    Has anyone here successfully barked a squirrel?

    That sounds like Jeff Foxworthy's story about the guy who picked up the beaver they'd hit and it curled up and bit his nipple off. I'll take the squirrel to the finger bite, thank you. ;)

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    60" OF Fun. No, not 6", 60". I took my Hudson Valley Fowler down off the wall for a breakdown and cleaning. Unfired since the late 90's and didn't I just have a grand time getting the sticky Wonderlube 1000 out of it. I was out of Brakleen but lacquer thinner thinner did the trick finally...

    Strange Day for Me in the Woods.

    So nicely put! Oh how I wish we still had 'birds' here to hunt. Foxes, coyotes, fishers, etc. have exploded here in my area so that any bird nesting on the ground is doomed. Coupled with a tidal wave of monied urbanites after 9/11 from NYC and their clearing and building executing the coup de...

    Strange Day for Me in the Woods.

    There certainly seems to be a common thread here amongst those of us who've changed views over the years re: taking large game. On the rare occasion when I go 'hunting', which amounts to walking out my back door, I've come to refer to these 'hunts' as "taking my gun for a walk". Those days of...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Started re-sighting in my two .54's after changing over from my old stash of Goex to Swiss.

    To the older guys…

    I'm on the same page as many here and I think about this subject often since I not only have the guns I've built but most of the surviving truck of the past three generations to pass on. Fortunately I have two grown sons, both steady, and both have owned their own guns since before puberty. They...

    How many muzzleloaders have you built

    Roughly 25. 1 Caywood kit, probably 4 Rifle Shoppe sets, and the rest off my own patterns, plus a few 'assists' for friends.

    Performance difference between Goex & Swiss powder ?

    Update on my first 'Swiss' experience. So, briefly, I finally tried out my 2F Swiss a few days ago. You guys weren't kidding about the Swiss. Bearing in mind that my 25+ yr. old goex stash is a bit 'long of tooth', the Swiss with the same 70 gr. charge printed 10" high at 50 yds. Dropping down...

    One of the toughest things to go through. So sorry you've lost your pup.

    You just never know what kind of gem is going to come out of nowhere on this forum. That's outstanding and so is the whole story behind it. Congratulations!

    Disconcerting.., no?

    Fusil

    Oh NO! Please NO ! I'm getting so I'm typing a word I know and can't remember how it's spelled. I give it a few try's out of mortified desperation and then just rephrase the sentence to omit that word.
