Male or female goat?

At the risk of thread drift I’d like to beg everyone’s indulgence to give honorable mention to the swivel breech rifle carried by Gary Cooper in “Unconquered.” Paulette Goddard looks better at holding a rifle than Gary Cooper.

Yes! That is why I use them.

Has anyone ever made buffalo squirrel wings?

If you are in a conversation and the topic of ruffed grouse comes up say something like; "They taste just like spotted owls," and watch the reactions.

Confucius once said; "If you want to see lots of squirrels, go deer hunting. If you want to see lots of deer, go squirrel hunting."

Another option would be to get the Harpers Ferry 1805 pistol in flint then have converted to percussion. That's what they use to do. https://www.dixiegunworks.com/index/page/product/product_id/8634/category_id/320/product_name/RH0225+Pedersoli+Model+1805+Harpers+Ferry+Pistol

I thought of this years ago but have not put it in to action. I was thinking about filling the inside of the pumpkin with jello. The tough part about that idea is picking a color. Should I go with matching orange or a contrasting color like, green, red or blue? Or... should I cross over to...
