No kidding...how do you drill a curved hole? I have a large buffalo horn with a sharp 90 degree bend that I want to keep. Looks good. The tip is pretty thick. How do I get a hole down to the powder?

Get a piece of wire the appropriate thickness, curve it to match the curve in the horn, heat it up red hot and use it to melt the tunnel into the horn
 
:thumbsup: Yup you're right Roundball.......... but you forgot to mention the most important part.............. Don't do this indoors, you'll stink the house up so bad you won't be able to live in it. ( believe me I know :rotf: ) It's right up there with shooting a skunk under your deer stand :grin:

So tell me Soggy, how many skunks have you shot under your tree stand? :confused:

ONE; and I hope I never do it again :redface:

Humm, I thought a good hot shower and some soap was the best way to get rid of the "scent" :rotf:

Apparently it's supposed to be a good way of masking your scent?
What do you think?

I used to use so much skunk scent that I got used to it!! Didn't seem to mind anymore but some of my huntin' buddies did.
I didn't want to put any thoughts out there but the idea of melting/burning a hole was what I thought -just wanted to make sure. I think I will go under diameter to start and then enlarge to size. Thanks
