Rodman, All good surveyors should have one of these.

It simply does not really matter where you move in Texas . Pick any spot. Everywhere is crowding up with people. Not trying to tell anyone not to move here, just stating a fact.

Sound like a plan

A few from my wanderings.

Same uncle I mentioed above would trap em. And he and grandmaw would convert them into tamales.

LOL! I just can’t make myself shoot one. Had an old uncle generally had one around his house for a pet. Kinda got attached to em. Passed up many a havahog at the Kenedy county place. Heck have even had em come up around the cabin of an evening after a days hunt while we are cooking. The walk...

I had a few more pics from this hunt, but I don’t know where they ended up. Here is my old hunting compadre from Albuquerque. Some of you grey beards may remember him. Ol’ Moses McTavish. i believe this hunt was in 1984. That’s Sheridan Peak in the background. This was in the Gila betweenSilver...

Don’t know ? Just get in River bottom and look for hog sign. Shouldn’t be too hard to find. Betting they are a bit nocturnal tho! Waidmannsglück!!! Der Einsiedler

Waidmannsheil!

Old men at McKavett. :)

I volunteer at Ft. McKavitt.They will have a big early 1860’s event there weekend of April 22. Check out their Facebook page if you are on facebook ( I am not on FB). If I am not involved with land survey demonstrations, I’ll be doing "contract" carpentry work. Too old and crippled up to do...

I usually hit the trade days in Fritztown as my lady friend has a big booth in the antique store in Johnson City. She’s always hunting treasures. And I am generally in the mood for old wore out woodworking tools and such. :). And bier! :)

Willkommen! I generally hang out on the Fall creek in Blanco county and Sandy creek just east of Devil’s toenail in Llano county. Where the Coal creek runs in. But currently live on the Wilbarger trace just this side of Well’s prairie. Have lots of old friends up in Mason county. Some of em...

I was thinking of something along the lines of a 12 x 28 pistol nipple. T/C usedto make something low profile for their Patriot. And there were some similar ampco nipples. They may require additional modification and such. But I just don’t know what the inside will look like once I drill in and...

This is exactly what I thought. ( Same model btw). Thanks for reply. ( Not my gun, I was asked by the owner if he thought it possible. I was very skeptical even then).

Simple question. Have any of you with the capabilities ever attempted to replace the integral percusson nipples in an original A & T pepperbox? Is there enough “meat” at the breech end to d&t for an appropriate nipple? i think archaeologist son has my Flaydermann, so I can’t look model up. (...

Interesting read. Thanks contributors!!! Much appreciated. From my point of view, I believe all of the rifles mentioned have a rich and interesting story to tell regardless of any Corps of Discovery affiliation! ( oh, meant to mention. Bravo 1/23, USMCR, 75-81)

Watch for hawgs in that San Gabriel bottom.

Oops! That was a good idea!! 😉

Yes! Thanks Mtnman. Knew that. Much Appreciated. I usually hunt with one of my original model 1895 unmentionables. 😉
