    Javelina with a flintlock southern rifle…

    I've shot a few javelina in southern Arizona, quite a few years ago, now. Here's one I took from 18 yards with a double 20 gauge flintlock. They are excellent to eat. They have a large musk gland on the rump, and you need to make absolutely certain you don't get any of that on the meat, your...

    Skillet Fried Soup Beans

    I make my patties of black-eyed peas quite often, I agree, they can't be beat. I also make them of left-over mashed potatoes and white beans of various types. Spence

    Skillet Fried Soup Beans

    I cook pinto beans in the regular way to eat as a side. I drain some completely, mash them, add a little cayenne pepper, then add saltine cracker crumbs to make a paste think enough to hold together as patties. I roll those in more cracker crumbs and pan fry them until nicely browned. 'Tain't...

    The disaster, the elation and the shame!

    No, I'm not offended, I'm just curious. I think you and I have casually discussed this before, Brits, and that you know I don't shoot predators unless they have my chicken in their mouth. I was just curious as to why you never miss an opportunity to kill a fox. I have long been aware of the...

    The disaster, the elation and the shame!

    The natural question would seem to be, if the fox is just going to be left to rot were it fell, why is it at all important to make sure to stick with the search until it is found? Spence

    The late Bob Wyant and his Billinghurst rifles

    Bill, back in the early 1990s I ran a BP mailing list named MLML, and there was a member named Bob Wyant. I remember him as a knowledgeable poster and a very generous guy, because back then he made this knife for me just because. I can't know if this was the same Bob Wyant, but I assume it...
