I have my grandad's Marlin 39 A. Was made I wanna say 1953. Lot of hurt feelings when Grandma gave it to me. My son killed his first squirrel with it. I think he was 9. I told him it was his rifle now.I have a .22 that was my dad’s. I believe the gun is at least as old as me,66. Last year I shot 11 squirrels with it. It’s going to my oldest grandson one of these days.
Dad’s been gone 18 years. He’d be happy to know that old rifle is still killing squirrels. I wish I could post a picture here of it as I refinished it last winter. But that’s a no no!

Ed,Oh, gee golly. Ole ETipp has been out scouting again. This time I went via my boat. Let me tell ya, someone opened up the floodgates and the monsoons came right in. Got my old skinny arse wet. Not just once, but twice. However, I still love it. A little water, no, a lot of water in this case, won’t hurt anyone.
I was able to scout two areas along the river. I only saw one squirrel but it was thundering big time, so no wonder. I think the squirrels were smarter than me today.
All in all, there’s promise in both of those areas I would reckon. I found several den trees and a couple of drays. I also could see plenty of hickory nuts up in some trees overhanging the water, or, up on the bank a short ways.
Yes, plenty of all kinds of fish. However, Lake Cumberland and the Cumberland River has their own ways that can differ from other locations. It can be difficult to figure it out. I’m not a bass fisherman but I have caught plenty of them. Just not my thing. I’m a die hard Flathead man.Ed,
Sounds like you found a promising place for squirrel hunting. What's the river like, any smallmouth?
Jeff
Yes it does!Coffee hurts coming out of your nose. Thanks Ed![]()
They have a way of doing that.'lectric frizzen; lol; spittin' coffee; y'all crack me up
I think we know, if you say it's a good place for squirrel, we could bet our paycheck on it.Yes, plenty of all kinds of fish.

Now a to be clear. I do not want to paint a false picture of this area. It’s not as much way out yonder as I like. That’s down in the SouthFork, which is on my to do list to Scout while trying to find a good location for our possible R O N D I.
I have a busy week planned.
Thank you but as of now, I still do not know for sure being it’s all new areas. But I’m working on it.I think we know, if you say it's a good place for squirrel, we could bet our paycheck on it.
You got that right Fred. Ed has a way of bringing out the snot rockets. Lady's with big saggy clothes lines, to electric hairdos!Yes it does!
Not as foamy as a good Ole Budweiser.
Bass, yuckI’m not a bass fisherman but I have caught plenty of them. Just not my thing. I’m a die hard Flathead man.
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 fine eating. Or put it on a piece of foil and season with salt and pepper. Then a little lemon juice, some sliced Vidalia, and a pat of butter. Turn the foil into a pouch and throw it in coals or on the grill. Works great with cats too. I mean catfish. Or cats... It'll change your life. That's it for today's episode of hillbilly cooking with Tim.Bass, yuckCatfish yummy
Just spent a few days camped at 10,700' amongst spruce growth that would normally be teeming with pine squirrels. Only saw one and it was a runt. Noticed this previously at higher elevations but have also seen good populations at those heights in other places. It's a puzzle.
