    Turkey Triple Down

    I enjoy your story telling, Sparkitoff. Though I love to hunt I've not caught the turkey hunting bug. You make it fun to follow along. Glad your Son was there to boot.

    Quest part lll

    For this hunt I completely understand the conical choice. Hope all goes as planned and a fine story ensues.

    #4 buck in the trade gun.

    I imaging that was a decisive outcome once the trigger was squeezed. Glad for your fun and success in keeping it simple, Britsmoothy.

    Conical for bull elk

    I had both molds, the .50 & .54 over 35 years back. I cast some. 54's but only having .50's at that time that mold through a tremendous amount of pure lead compared. Those. 54's were considerably heavier, but I don't recall the actual grains. These were the original Maxihunter conical style...

    Conical for bull elk

    I've shot nearly 1,000 T/C Maxihunter conical bullets from various 1/48" twist barrels in years past. Those were 355 grains pushed to 1,180fps with 65 grains of fffg. Sighted 2" high at 50 yards they would consistently center the bullseye at 100. Gallon water jugs didn't stand a chance when...

    I believe you, Yellowhammer. My Grandpa witnessed a chased squirrel nuter a Tom cat. The squirrel made for the offside of a tree whilst the Tom cat ran up the front side of the trunk. Squirrel reached the "Y" first and severed the nuts right out of the sac of ol Tom. Grandpa said he squealed...

    High altitude hunting

    That's a beautiful bull elk in your avatar with the muzzleloader next to it. Hope your next trip is as successful.

    I found this place......

    You gave it a valiant effort, Eric. Kudos from my part of the States for trying. A not too battered roadkill, if nothing else, can help fill his freezer if necessary.

    Flintlock coyotes?

    I used to use them on squirrels when I first put the T/C Cherokee kit together all them years ago. It dropped them out of the trees well enough but found out that prb's did too. I have no doubt the conical will drop a coyote, or a deer in 32 caliber. They will probably run a bit before...

    "I might be able to get out and squirrel hunt soon. He said I need to stay off of concrete and pavement, he didn't say anything about the woods. :)" Knock, knock. Hello Ed. Ed? This is your Better Sense talking............. LOL

    The Sherriff got it done!

    This was done before the Federal law came into being. Back then folks were trying to save the chickens and other small farm animals from predators in the sky, Back before the tge chicken industry supplied all our needs from under the roof of a monstrous building holding tens of thousands of...

    If the Son is free to camp for another hunt I'll be sure to let you know, ETipp. Maybe we can sound off dueling. 32 caliber muzzleloaders at a few bushytails.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Our squirrel season ended at the end of January. Last squirrel I shot was with the 20ga while rabbit hunting. Shotguns and squirrels might have their place, but I don't find much pleasure in the experience. Was following up my son's initial hit on the fox squirrel high up the tree. A .22 or...

    Pretty grain pattern on the stock. Always nice to receive another Christmas present after the holidays. We expect to see it resting next to a couple of hard earned squirrels before too long, as well.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    I shot this squirrel back on late September. When drawing a bead on it the rising sun prevented a good visual of the hide. Thought it was young of the year Grey. Stooped down to pick it up and became concerned I had shot a protected species, as I had never seen one of these in SW Ohio before...
