Squirrel Hunt

[John Tice]

Went out Saturday and walked some hardwoods out here in northeast Connecticut. I used the Hudson Valley fowler Roy Stroh built me. It has a 55" barrel and is 69.cal. I used bird shot with greased tow wadding with 70 grains of powder and shot. The long barrel makes for some real tight patterning. The gun handles so well and is so balanced it is a pure pleasure to shoot. It was a great day.

John: Holy jumpin' catfish that is a lovely firearm you have there! I find myself liking those Hudson-influenced guns more and more. And greased tow! What did you grease it with?
