A little hunting practice...

[Skychief]

As the day bloomed sunny yet sharp, I had the urge to grab my flintlock and head to the woods for a short, amateur-ish trek.

I found a tick that thought it was a great day to be out and about too. Undaunted, I continued on toward solitude and recreation....

In no hurry, and, as it turned out, a bit under dressed (the sunshine was deceiving), I made a little fire and soaked up it’s warmth while resting upon a fallen tree.

Once warmed, I continued on my way.

Has anyone here played “bark the ball bag”, er, I should say “squirrel”? The small hump on a fallen log couldn’t be resisted.

No knot on any dead beech tree was entirely safe today! Several were spotted and my stalking skills put me in range of a few...They never alerted once!

Just a quick glimpse into how I managed to stay out of trouble today, while waiting on turkey season to arrive. Ahh.....turkeys!!!

You all have a great weekend and take care.

All the best, Skychief.

You know something, Skychief; roaming the woods with a good muzzleloader and taking in the sights & sounds while enjoying a bit of powder burning is just as fine a day as anyone could hope for.

And you can toast those ticks over the fire. Makes for a great day.
I think I may have to follow your example.

I think you're onto something Hanshi.

Ames, I highly recommend it!

Best regards, Skychief.

Got out today to work up a load for my 32 Seneca using Olde E. Great day to be in the woods. Squirrel season still a long way off

Too nice of a day in Indiana to be trapped by 4 walls Bassdog. Glad you enjoyed the day too.

Best regards, Skychief.

Enjoying a day in the woods is about as close to Heaven as I can imagine. Good for you!! Greg
