Around the Campfire / Re: What Did You Do Today?
« Last post by Eric Krewson on November 02, 2025, 10:04:52 am »
We had our fall muzzleloader get together this afternoon, great friends, great food and always fun when these like-minded folk get together and share knowledge about gun building and shooting our relics. The newest reproduction models we shot were probably from around the 1870s, the oldest was a hand cannon designed after one shot in the 13th or 14th century. I brought one that was a replica of a 1750s fowling gun (shotgun) as well as an 1810 version of a Tennessee squirrel rifle. I made both of my guns.

Then a nice fire Thursday night and thoughts of getting to finely hunt, Friday morning got my Halloween buck, 10 yards, double lung and top of heart, seen him go down at 40 yards, gets no better than that. 135 lb 7 point.shot with my old faithful Osage built in 2012, spruce arrows with turkey feathers and Ace 160 head. Kept my streak going, been 45 years since the last time I didn't get at least 1 deer with my bow. Been a tough year for Miss Joanie and me but this help just a little. :) ;)

The clean up, once the timber guy gets to it and that will be soon I plan on taking out 10 or 12 more trees right around the pavilion and kitchen area, like I said it will look different but it's not a matter of if it is a matter of when they are going to come down so has to be done. Stresses me and makes me sad to tear up my pretty woods that is for sure.  :( Once the clean up was done I got on a hide , got it fleshed and in the rack, # 1 for the year. Got another in waiting.  :)

Good couple of days at the cabin, We had a good friend come and stay with Miss Joanie so I could get away for a couple of day, felt good to be back doing what I love to do, Ha a tree fall with all the rain and wind we had , I am doing a lot of timbering on the place and this is why, having big trees go down all the time. It will look a little different when you come visit and I hate the mess , but has to be done. After the clean up I got on some hides that have been in waiting and also got in a little hunting.  :) the tree and clean up. :)
