    Elk antler powder horn

    wanted a small flat horn for my .36 and couldn't find a horn that I wanred to flatten but found an Elk antler that was only 1" thick and about 2 1/2" wide so hollowed it out, holds enough for 33 shots. More than I usually shoot when out for a hike. What do you think? Deadeye

    2011 Mule Deer

    Got this 4x3 on the 2nd morning of the hunt 9/29 on a beautiful day at about 9000 ft. The .50 cal. ball did a perfect job, in one side out the other. He took 3 or 4 steps and piled up. Slipped right up on 5 or 6 Deer feeding, not more than 25 or 30 yds. from them and while watching them this...

    added serpentine to handgonne

    I originally made my handgonne with a side touchhole so i could sight along the barrel using a fuse so when I decided i wanted a serpentine I also had to make a pan to hold some powder. The pan also swivels up to cover the touch hole when loading. Works great and even though the pan powder...

    Calico horn

    That's what a friend called it "calico" when he gave it to me a week or so ago, better than "Spot" ,anyway, kind of an interesting pattern. I kinda like it. Walnut plug, a little carving, no room for scrimming. A good excuse to make another pouch to attach it to.

    Flint, chert, agate, etc.

    While in the Mts. last week I picked up this flint, chert, agate, jasper, whatever, it throws great sparks. The smaller flatter pieces only have to have a flat edge knapped on them to work. Some of the black stuff looks almost like the black english flints. The red stuff I can find down here in...
