    Smoothbores? Flints? Black Powder? Huh?

    Barrel

    Swamp barrel, no, no, no it's swamped barrel, as opposed to a tapered barrel or a straight barrel. For some unknown reason a swamped barrel is larger, in circumference, at the ends as opposed to the middle. If anybody has any facts regarding the reason, please, fill me in. I would even accept...

    Uncle Jed

    My father, Carroll Deaton, and my grandfather, George Washington Deaton, both used slingshots, but they were the kind that have two long cords and a leather pocket. You put a good smooth river rock in the leather sling and swung it around in circles and then launched it. I am still impressed...

    Uncle Jed

    Like all the women in my hillbilly bunch, Granny was a shotgun toter. 12 gauge loaded with ice cream salt. Excellent for keeping varmits out of the yard and theives out of the melon patch.

    What's the smallest thing you've shot?

    In the 50's every kid in my neighborhood had a Daisy, mine was a pump, and in the fall wasps would fly around the eaves of the house. Almost anybody could hit a wasp on the wing. We would spend hours lying in the barn and shooting wasps off the nests in the rafters. Small rocks and pennies...

    Not So Great Hunting Moves

    Deer hunting in the 60's and another hunter, a drunk, stopped us and showed and told us about the climbing stands Stumpkiller mentions. Being the handy type I built one and then used it in a stand of red oaks. Round here the red oaks resemble telephone poles. Before daylight I put the stand on...

    predator hunting

    One summer I was in the kitchen and my wife was mowing. Suddenly the door flew open and the wife ran screaming into the kichen and was tearing her clothes off. No I'm not that attactive. Seems she mowed over a nest of ground hornets and then turned around and on the next pass she mowed over the...

    Hunting for what?

    I shot a 20 ounce plastic Coke bottle, ball went clear thru both sides, intend to shoot several more, just as soon as I drink the contents. Maybe I'll make me a Coke float.

    Pouch knife: strap or bag mounted?

    In my opinion knives are underrated as weapons. At Christmas one year I was shopping for a present for my brother in law and went to the fishing/hunting area of a super center. On the counter was a display of boxed bone handled fillet knives. I picked one up and when I did the end flap on the...

    Executing Small Kitchen Appliances

    Shooting junk cars and road signs, preferably from a moving vehicle, out the window or from the bed of a pickup, is a time honored Arkansas tradition. Evidence is everywhere.

    Whats the easiest way to skin a squirrel?

    Squirrel skinning is one of those things that I have watched done a thousand times, but when I try it total diaster, hair all over. My brother-in-law, he can't walk and chew gum, but he is the squirrel skining champ of the county. It is damn near magic.

    Ignition source ?? (read carefully...)

    Generally speaking it is not "Joe Blow" that starts a law suit. In case of a death it is the lawyer for his estate. In the case where he shoots his hand off an insurance practice call subrogation kicks in and all of the unpaid creditors get on the band wagon. Joe's insurance pays most of Joe's...
