Around here we only have Fox & Gray ones.

(when I saw the first photo, I thought you were holding a SxS double)

 

[Pioneer flinter]

thank you all for your comments. these squirrels are beautiful they are also called tassel eared squirrels they can be as large as a large fox squirrel. they are very good eating. I was raised in southern Iowa and have eating a lot of fox squirrels, I think these aberts taste better. I think the reason you thought my frontier was a SxS is I made peep sights for all my muzzleloaders. they sure help with the aging eyes.
with that peep sight and 25 gr. of 2f 777 it will put 5 roundballs through the same hole at 25 yards. any way you all take care. shoot straight and God bless.

Great job on them squirrels! :thumbsup:

 

[Wes/Tex]

Excellent job. I did the double-take like roundball when it appeared like the gun was double hammered...just gotta look at pic #21! .45's can do the job just fine!! :hatsoff:

 

[hanshi]

Yep, the peep sight fooled me too. Great shooting and very interesting squirrels. I bet they did taste good.

[flyfisher76544]

Them are some big ones! Nice shooting :hatsoff:

Really good job. You got me jealous. I like looking for Abert's but they seem to take me about 10 miles of hiking for each on I find.

Tomorrow morning I'm off with my .45 Blue Ridge flintlock for turkey and Abert's

Warmest Regards,
Robert

Just out of curiosity, how many squirrels you guys get in a season?
I got as little as 8 and as much as 20 , depending on the alignment of planets and such.
I already got 29 with the rifle I made over a year ago.
