Was this the same 4 Bore that finally split in two at the wrist giving him that nasty scar on his face? Edit I remember reading of the incident while still in high school almost 50 years ago. Here is post accident photo with the 4 bore after the wrist had been repaired with wire wrap. Scar is...

DaveC, You may know this already, most all the firearms the principles used in the 1960 version came from a San Antonio gun collector by the name of S P Stevens. He was quite a character. Nice fellow too. One of the founding members of the Texas Gun Collectors Association, I believe.

Dad had some lead shot in his collection but all of it was from a site west of Poteet on the Atascosa river at one of the several Camino Real crossing. They live on several occassions beginning in the depression, in those blackjacks west of Leming. ( my great aunt was the postmistress for years...

Yeah and they are just about as ill-tempered as water snakes. Wifey stepped on one getting out of bed one morning. About a 3 footer. Bad day in black rock for me. Ive found em 20 feet up in trees eatin’ baby birds too! Right out of their cozy little nest. We have lots of 6 footers around that...

Lindeheimer’s Rat Snake.

In keeping with the muzzleloading theme. This fellow taken up residence in some old gun parts. I was moving into my new shop when this was discovered.

Other day out in my okra

Only person I’m out to make happy while hunting is me. Both my Jäger rifles have slings, as well as my fusils. ( FDC and a smoothrifle) I find them quit convienent. Mine are not noisy in the least. One I twined from hemp and jute. One I fabricated from a Wilde woven strap ( complete with a horn...
