Right on, emery. Good shot on some fine eating. Congrats.

Unfortunately, the ole gal just informed me that I need to bring in two more deer in oder to get us through the next year. Between squirrel hunting and deer hunting, it’s going to call for some slick balancing out to get them both done.

Congratulations. good clean shot.

Well, you poor thing, what with being sent out by the wife to do more hunting.

My wife wonders how I can spend so much time preparing to hunt and hunting. She's not opposed, just doesn't get it.

Not complaining. I often wonder how she has put up with me for 55 years

...you deserve a good dose of innard oil Amigo...

Yep! Good job.

Mr. emery,
I am quite jealous of you. To date, you have reported 8 squirrels. Now you get a lovely yearling (I think) and shoot it perfectly high in the front shoulder so it can't run. Next you take a wonderful picture of the deer bathed in warm autumn sunlight combined with your gorgeous flintlock. You live at the eastern end of the Micheaux State Forrest, and I live at the western end. I can't find a squirrel and spent 10 hours in a tree stand yesterday. I didn't see a deer.

Are you dancing around a bon fire at midnight, under a full moon, while shaking a sacred rattle, to honor the woods spirits? Please share your secrets. I am desperate.
Pete

I’m still behind on my deer hunting and I usually don’t take pictures of doe deer, but this is a first for my .54 GPR. It’s a start so maybe I can get back to doing some squirrel hunting, at least a little bit now that I can see a little better.

Pretty good size ole gal for these parts.

Great job there Mr. E-tipp.

You can get your jag, ball puller, and patch puller at alot of different places TOW, log cabin, midway usa, even Amazon. Use your swiss 3f somewhere between 15 and 20 gr. You will have to play with patch thickness, I have a Cherokee and it likes .15 pillow ticking. And myself I like a longer cleaning jag. Thread size on your ramrod should be 10/32. And number 11 caps for your nipple.

I'm not sure about .018 pre cut and lubed. I just picked some up at shooting supplie shop. After hear about it.


I recently stated to cut and lube my own
Another ETipp tip Mink Oil from TOTW.
It made a difference in loading, cleaning, possibly accuracy.

I shot alot of RMC OX YOKE pre cut and lubed. I had good groups. Just like the way I'm doing it now. Once ya get her out and shot some you'll find what's best for you and your gun.

I know your going to be happy with it.
