Givem hell Fred. Start thinking of recipes!
Good hunting there amigo.
I’m sure you’ll get it figured out fast like.
I have to admit, I'm kinda looking forward to trying it out. Still very much into my cap guns. Really enjoy shooting my Crockett. I did follow your lead and ordered a new nipple for her .

70 Cal.
So, where are the pictures?Glad you got out Fred. At least you had some action. Id rather be in the woods and have a slow day than be at home. I was going to go today, but I wound up making a 3 1/2 hour round trip to pick up a flintlock rifle.
Only the one. Nothing fancy. Fella I bought it from said he may have fired 10 shots from her. Still has the original flint from the box when he got her. I still need to get a few accouterments before I can have her talk to me.

Well good luck with it, Tom. Still pondering a flintlock here.
Tom. I did receive my patch.
I really like it.
It means a lot to me.
I believe I'm going to sew it on the hat, I wear when I'm hunting.
Like your Flintlock. Take your time with it, you'll get the hang of it, and love it.
Thanks again.

Fella’s the squirrels were certainly out here today. Saw quite a few out and about all day long. Sunny and about 60*.
Man oh man do I ever want to be out there hunting.

Good deal bud. I came across those and there were 3 left. It was a no brainer lol. I put some Velcro on the back of mine and slapped it on my hunting bag.
Good deal Fred. Maybe it'll bring you luck. I hope I take to it. I think I'll miss my Crockett when I take it to the woods. That thing is heavy.
I saw a CVA Squirrel Rifle in flint on GunBroker the other day. I wanted one for the late flintlock deer season here in PA.
Spring is right around the corner brother. I was filling the feeders this morning and watching from the kitchen window having my coffee, they were hitting the feeders in force.
Indeed. Looking at 103 days remaining here until spring squirrel season, but who’s counting?
Yesterday I saw a squirrel come out of a hole in a tree and attack another squirrel that had slipped his nose in there. Not sure if the defender was a female guarding her nest or perhaps she wasn’t ready yet. Don’t even know if it was a female defender. But whatever it was sure put that other squirrel down that tree in a hurry. I didn’t even know there was a den in that tree, which is only abut 35 yards out back of my house.
I also saw two squirrels go up to the top of another tree that has a drey up there. They both had something in their mouths and they both went inside.
My research shows there could be a couple reasons for both actions I saw. So, this ole boy is still trying to put all of this squirrel world stuff together. I do a lot of sitting and observing especially while recovering from this darn knee replacement issue.
Sometimes I sits, sometimes I thinks, and sometimes I just sits and thinks.
