Do you eat those little red squirrels.

Exactly!

Having a great season, these are all from the last month or so.

I didn't get into the woods till around 8:30 this morning and there wasn't much moving by then but I did manage to bring two home.

Very accurate but kind of hard to clean, they have what they call a patened breech. Basically at the breech end of the barrell there is a small chamber where the nipple is. maybe someone will come along and explain it better.

Sorry! Dont have any pics of them all together.

If I fire only one shot it is at least going to get a bore snake ran through it, even if it is going to be shot the next day. Overkill? maybe, but that is how I was taught, it is also why all my guns are in pristine condition.

Only three this morning,they wern't moving much.

I believe he said affordable. If you can find a T/C Seneca or Cherokee you are going to pay $400-$600 for it, IMO they arent worth it. They are not that much better than the Traditions.

I like these. http://www.7xleather.com/chest_holster

A lot of the old timers use spit and it will work buy it does not keep your fouling moist. For cold weather shooting I use Trappers mink oil. http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/132/1/MINK-OIL In warm weather I like Hoppe's No. 9 for black powder...

I have owned a dozen or more .32cal muzzleloaders in both caplock and flintlock, shot in matches where i fired twenty or more shots and never wiped the barrel between shots. If you use a good patch lube and real black powder you should never have a problem.

Thats about it unless you can find an old CVA Squirrel Rifle somewhere, they usually run in the $250-$350 range.
