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

[Gum Slough Muzzleloader]

In terms of the squirrels that like to sneak up from behind.............they are cowards who do not play fair. They sometimes make me wish I had a set of eyeballs in the back of my head.

The last squirrel I shot was on the small size. He came up behind me and stated his mouth, he watched me slowly turn and shoulder the Crockett. He won't bo it anymore.
First week of season I sat in this little opening in amongst the saplings and American Beautiy Berries and felt something moving, it was the vines next to me, I looked up about 4 feet above my head was a squirrel tight roping it across the horizontal vines.

I think it's cool seeing the crazy things they do.

Squirrel Rifle Update #2:

Jax Black I need to finish barrel out for delivery, so I should get that done this evening.

I have a blank rear sight I'm going to make into a peep, that's really the only fabricating left. Maybe darken some screws, etc.

The 600 pound gorilla in the room is the stock: Dang it, will you hurry up and dry already? Sheesh...

That is a very nice looking piece of wood. Can't wait to see it when you get her done.

No, this post is not about squirrel hunting.
A deep and heart felt THANK YOU to all of squirrel hunting buddies and my "Muzzleloadering" Friends that I have yet looked in the eye and shook their hands.

Wife and I have road out a good amount of hurricanes, this boys I feel is going to be the strongest and worse yet. For us.
I still pray for the folks who lost loved ones and ll they had in the last one and the many more in the past.
Panic has taken over and many, many folks do need to evacuate some have no option. The Howards have gotten prepared and we will hunker down and ride her out, I feel the good Lord will protect us because we took all that he has offered and prepared ourselves.
