[Gum Slough Muzzleloader]

Thanks, I don't know what more I could ask for. You ETipp, snakebite, Jim, Thanks for all the tips and all
The Kno how. Finally sweet Satisfaction!!!!

You are right about that.
Ed’s book and this forum is about the best source of information anyone could ask for.

That's what it's all about. I'm glad to have helped. I know the other guys are too.
Now if we could just reach some kids and get them focused on The Traditional Way of Hunting with Muzzleloaders.
I got alot of pointers, advice and some good times with all mentioned above and then some.

4-H has black powder programs, maybe your local clubs need instructors. Large captive audience there.

Ha, my mistake, 10spot what I started out with I hadn't really paid
Any attention, I'm still excited from
Today's shoot, and I have no idea without looking back at the post how
I signed.

Thought of Jim K this morning, while having my coffee watching the feeders, there was a jet black squirrel on one of them. Haven't had one back there in a few years. Tried to get a picture, but the reflection from the glass washed it out.

Took my 5 year old along this evening. First time I ever hunted squirrels with a rifle. Always useda fowler.
This was the little kids rifle I built in march for my kids to start on.
I gotta scrunch down into it but I can shoot it.
It was more fun than I expected.
Might have to build my own now Jim ....

First one was about 40 yards hanging on the side of a whiteoak... the 2nd one I saw a shadow of it on another tree so I knew he was on the backside.... told Cobie to walk around the tree for dad..he did move from her approach but he must known I was waiting because he got up in a Y and all I could see was his ear and part of his head. So I took his head off. It was awesome.
