First day for squirrels in Southern Illinois.

I have a few acres near Gallatia, that have deer, turkeys, squirrels, and various other critters.

I mostly hunt there with a longbow, but I've taken several deer and turkeys on the property, with my flintlocks.

Two weeks before it opens in Iowa. I am just about done building my new squirrel rifle. Full cherry wood stock, with german silver hardware, and a 36", 29 caliber barrel. I built it percussion, but will be changing it over next year to flint. I should be done browning the lock in a few days and will post pictures. Leon
