I blame Jim Kibler!
Fred IS an infiltrator for Jim Kibler in case you didn't know that. He is sleeper agent. He pops up out of the blue with a Colonial, then a SMR, and recently a WR in .54 no less, the caliber I want. He's a crafty one that Fred is. Keep an eye on him.🤣
 
Now that would have been worth the price of admission 🤣 but I do feel your pain. Over the years, we've developed his n hers kitchen stuff. A fella cooks a pork belly on one of her good cooling racks one time in the smoker, and he's an outlaw (keepin it G rated) for life.
I now get death threats if I even think about cooking anything in the kitchen. Off limits to ETipp. Another win-win for me. :)

I am allowed to smoke my squirrels outside. :)

It won't work, Stan. That one doesn't scare me one bit. Now the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz is a different story. They still give me nightmares.
Dang right they're a different story. I know cause I have a sister who is the keeper. 😱

My wife conspires to let me have the kitchen. Believe me, it doesn't feel like winning. She does gripe when I cure epoxy in the oven.

I have full use of the kitchen, and MOST of the appliances, I'm just not allowed to use "her stuff". Most of my stuff comes from the dollar store and flea markets 🤣 I even have my own shelf for spices. As a bonus, I've caught her using my measuring spoons, and was quick to point it out.

I'm not working for Jim Kibler.
It was Ed, he introduced me to the gate way "drug" Patched Round Balls! That's what lead me to the Flintlock. I feel that if I had never tried PRBs I would have never taken the next step in reaching a greater Euphoria.

I didn’t mean it, well sort of.
 
I didn’t mean it, well kind of.
I know you ment well Brother Ed. You did kinda warn me the the PRB would give a feeling like I've never experienced. I tried but fell weak. I knew it was coming. It seemed Innocent with so many others engaged in to PRBs and the Dreaded Flintlock. Plus the Squirrels
 
You all must think you're dealing with some sort of amateur or something. I'll have you know that this old boy is well acclimated to pan flashes. Every one of those I kept my cool and handled the situation like a pro. Pan flashes can actually be to ones benefit, you know. After the last occasion, it put so much smoke in the kitchen that I could barely see the doorway, it set off every smoke alarm in the house and it took us two days to find the dog. After that, my wife promised to cook all of my squirrels from then on. She said she doesn't want to chance any more pan flashes. So see there, a win-win situation when handled properly. :)

I'm allowed in the kitchen to make homemade pies, bread, dinner rolls, pasta, egg noodles and sometimes gravy. With that said it's when wife is shopping or just gone for the day. Rules:
I must be done cooking/baking and cleaned up. And no burn of anything.
Oh yeah to remove trash bag also.
 
Warmer weather forecasted for the next few days beginning tomorrow. My “want bumps” are itching to go to the woods. If the sun would be nice and bright, even if it’s cold, as long as the wind is mild, squirrels usually come out to play.

13 degrees here right now.
That's cold. I hope Mr Sun shines bright for ya.
 
19 here. That's dang cold for The Heart Of Dixie. Saw no squirrels around the pecan trees when I took the dog out at daybreak.
If its sunny all day and if it warms up some, even into the low 30's, you might see some squirrels out and about beginning about noon into the later afternoon. That's if there is little to no wind.

Unflipping believable. Forecast called for sever clear. Now the clouds have already rolled in. I was hoping to go out mid-day.
 
Muzzleloader season for deer comes in tomorrow for Indiana. I like squirrel hunting the best, but I suppose I'll spend the 40 dollars for a license in case I get a chance at one. It's supposed to get up to 38 degrees tomorrow, but down to 22 tonight. We have been getting some lake effect snow off of lake Michigan for a few days so there should be an inch or two on the ground in the morning before it starts melting. I do like a little snow on the ground because you can see movement a lot easier through the brush.

Good luck to you.

A couple of minutes ago I looked out my back window and there were two doe eating within 20 yards of the back of my house. They are on the move due to this colder weather.

Maybe we all have a problem🤔 Hello, my name is Snakebit, and I'm addicted to BP firearms. I also drink a lot and smoke meat. There, first step.
