    .56 Smoothbore Shot Patterning and Bare Ball

    I'm no help since I've never tried smoothing a bore. Others here might be more help.

    Revisiting our friend Titus Bass

    If you're only going to read one out of the series, I would go with the first book released in the series, Carry the Wind. I'll be surprised if you can resist reading the rest of the series after reading that book. There are a couple other fur trade era series I've enjoyed. The So Wild A...

    Revisiting our friend Titus Bass

    Back in 2001. He did an amazing job while he was here. Everything I've read by him, including his Plainsmen and Son of the Plains series, were extremely well done. Not many authors are that consistent and historically accurate. SPOILER ALERT! I've heard that Johnston told his wife that when he...

    Grizzly Adams

    Very cool to meet Jim @Hermit Tim! I still remember the first time I saw a TV remote control. We stopped by the home of a person my dad knew. It only had a couple buttons on it but I was amazed that the guy could sit there on the couch and change channels.

    Grizzly Adams

    Standing at the TV changing the channels while my dad decided what we would watch was one of my jobs as a kid. There were only a few channels but it seemed to take forever to go through them since one or two were always on a commercial break. Watching Marlin Perkins send Jim out to...

    Grizzly Adams

    I stumbled across this Grizzly Adams box set recently. I used to enjoy this show when I was a kid in the '70s. I just started watching it and I'm only a few episodes in. Yes, its a little goofy, but it brings back a lot of memories. This show along with others (like the mini-series...

    Another Short Squirrel Hunt

    Congrats @Ricochet! Nice shooting! I did chuckle when I saw the squirrel on the skinning rack. :thumb:

    Sticks and Stones Camp Cooking

    Years ago I took a couple squirrels with my .32 cal Crockett. I only took a pic of one of them. I cooked them over a fire for lunch. I got careless for a minute and let them get a little crispy on one end.

    The Adventures of Captain Bonneville, USA...

    I prefer a real book but if you don't mind reading on an electronic device you can read Captain Bonneville and many other books at the Library of the Western Fur Trade Historical Society site for free. Some of my favorite books they have on that site are Warren Angus Ferris Life in the Rocky...

    Authentic Mountain Man Experience?

    You can influence and change a bulls behavior. You can do things to get a bull wound up and encourage his rutting mindset. I've grunted at bulls that were docile, not displaying rut behavior at all and got them to totally change their demeanor. You can also do things that can change their focus...

    Authentic Mountain Man Experience?

    I agree with that on bulls. I've been around a couple bulls doing that stiff legged walk with glazed over eyes and a rut crazed look. I think talking to them can change their focus and get them out of that state of mind. I wouldn't count on it working every time but I've had it work. I...
