    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    If you ever get stuck having to eat bass just remember to scrape that dark lateral line off each side, wet it in a mixture of milk and beaten egg, then dredge it in a mixture of AP flour, black pepper, salt, and maybe some Cajun seasoning, then fry it up in some oil. Drain well and that is some...

    Custom hammer or TC option?

    I'm thinking it was called the EZ Hammer.

    Custom hammer or TC option?

    I've seen those listed for CVA guns in eBay a few times. Can't remember what style they called it but it is supposed to be easier and quicker to cock. Haven't seen those in a while though but there could still be some listed there I suppose.

    Blanket gun

    Yep. I'd rather put it on a hook and turn it into a catfish.

    MAV Hawken 50 cal.

    Thanks for posting. When I looked up MAV it showed a different rifle. Pretty much the same gun but with a different patch box. That box looks like what Investarms uses. What stamps are on the barrel? If it's an Investarms they do make a pretty good rifle. I've had a few and they were all fine...

    I am an idiot. Frustrated to the point of wanting to quit.

    Well we were all new at some point. You came to the right place. I've been doing this BP thing for thirty years and still learn something from these guys all the time. And occasionally somebody learns something from me. Hang in there and enjoy it. Black powder will get in your blood if you ain't...

    I haven't had anchovies on a pizza since I worked at Domino's back in 88. Haven't really missed them much...

    What do you carry your fire kit in?

    What do you carry your fire kit in?

    That's really nice. I've got the wood box idea stuck in my head now so, if I ever get time to work on projects, might try to crank one out.

    MAV Hawken 50 cal.

    Never heard of a MAV before so I looked it up. The patchbox was the give away. This gun has been sold under many brands. I've seen them listed as Lyman, Navy Arms, and other brands, but the exact same gun. Now, the ones I've seen were listed on GunBroker. If Italian I'm guessing it could have...

    What do you carry your fire kit in?

    Wooden hinged box with fire lens would be cool. Did you make that one?

    You won't regret it. I love fried chicken but properly fried squirrel is far better.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I'm seeing a theme here. Grandma's are awesome. Really miss mine. She passed back in '88. I also had the same problem with snapping turtles. She wouldn't fool with them. Luckily my buddy's (the guy I always hunted and fished with) mom was full blooded German and that woman could cook. We just...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    That's how granny taught me how to do it back in the day. Always tender. Every week while squirrels were in season, after it cooled off, it was fried squirrel and squirrel dumplin's. Good times. I want to do a write up here in the forum soon about my hunting experience as a kid. If I ever get...

    Sounds familiar. When my wife asked why I needed a smoothbore .45 I blamed it on Britsmoothie.
