Jim, ole buddy. Focus on the road, bro. Focus!

Hahaha. She’s driving now

Hahaha. She’s driving now

You slacker you!

 

[Jim K]

You slacker you!

 

[ETipp]

Then again, knowing most female drivers, you might be playing it right. You will most likely arrive two hours ahead of schedule.

Don’t tell her I that.

There is a spot down in the missouri river bottoms, it's half a mile wide about three quarters of a mile long the river is on one side a corn field on the other side. There's eight to ten drays and at least three nests. The squirrels are active sun up to about 10:00 or so.
I used to hunt them with a .22 years ago and then got more into big game and kinda forgot about the small game. Then last November I joined the muzzleloader form, added a .32 cal cherokee to my black powder arsenal and I'm back in the game.

Now you’re tracking right. There’s nothing better than squirrel hunting with a small caliber, traditional ML. It is as challenging as it gets and the absolute most rewarding hunting I’ve ever done.

Hunting along a body of water can pay off big time.

Get after them bro!

 

[ETipp]

Oh my gosh. 35 minutes in a pressure cooker, then roll in flower and cornmeal mixed, in a skillet for 35-45 minutes on medium low.

That got me thinking; I know of a spot just like that on the Tennessee River on Wheeler NWR. Pawpaw thicket surrounded by oaks. Will reconnoiter.

I'm waiting on it rains a little...

Oh Lord, please give us some relief

Yep. Forecast is stating it’s going to be hotter than a house of ill repute on 5 dollar night all next week here too. That still is not going to stop me from squirrel hunting.

 

[yellowhammer]

I can deal with the heat. It's the lack of rain. Everything is parched.

Anybody know how to rain dance? I know a full-blood Mescalero dude... I wonder...

My advice…. Go pay your Mescalero friend.

No pressure, bud. But don’t go home unless you bring back a few squirrels.

Nice and tender?

Thanks to you my friend.

Hey Ed, just noticed that time. Are you using an InstantPot? If so you don't need to run them that long. Big ole tough dry chicken breasts I only run 10 min. But, hey, I can't argue with success if 35 worked.
