Hi All, first post here tho I spent the whole weekend reading all the posts on this forum! I used to do a little buckskinning[yrs. ago], and started deer hunting with a ML back about 1978. My first rifle was a CVA Big Bore Mtn. Rifle. Prolly killed 18-20 deer with that rig. Also had a ML shotgun, and a dixie .32 cal mtn. rifle, flintlock, back in the early 80's. About mid 90's I got away from ML and Trad. archery, after a divorce 
Tried a couple of inlines deer hunting, but sold them both. Been mainly deer hunting with a shotgun for the last 15 yrs.
My boy said something about blackpowder/camping, and I got to thinking about the old days and how much FUN it was. Well, I'm getting the itch to get back into trad. ML[with REAL black]!
My thoughts are leaning toward a flintlock squirrel rifle, but you boys with them smoothies have got me to thinkin.... I want to do a little primitive camping, and thought the squirrel hunting is a sweet layed back way to enjoy the prim side of hunting again. I don't think I want to get back in to R'vouing again, but am thinking about getting my version of PC together for my needs. My question is, does anybody know where I might find a Dixie Tenn. Mtn. squirrel rifle [.32 flintlock], again for a semi reasonable price? No huge hurry, cause my $$'s are tied up right now in going to Africa, with my son on a plains game hunt, next July.
Anyway, just wanted to say howdy, and sure enjoy the pics of your primitive hunting camps.
