We all build our own .32 or .36 caliber flintlocks. (I've already started mine)They have to be HOGified in your own special way. . . . then we all meet at my place in Kentucky or some other centrally located piece of ground with a few bottles of Johnny Walker Blue and several hundred cases of Carling Black Label. We sit under the squirrell laden trees and try to smokepole out as many as possible. . . .

We stoke the fire. . . we grill the one that we hit. . . we chew, spit lead, and talk INFI. . . . all is well with the world!!!! :cool:

Yours in nuclear flintlocking!!!!

. . . . man this is good beer!!!!

I am in, but how about percussion cap instead of flint for ignition? :D
 
Flintlock? I'll bring this bad boy, instead:

Hunting with firearms is too easy. :p

Why just aim and fire, when you can add the further challenges of spotmetering, deciding what would constitute optimal exposure, choosing depth of field, manually setting ISO and aperture and shutter speed, manually focusing, framing, envisioning a powerfully communicative composition and bringing it artfully to life? :cool:

That's quite a rig Mike! It all sounds like too much thinking for me though. I'd rather blow them squirrles to hell. Besides, you can't eat a picture in the woods. :D ;)

LMAO... I'd have to agree Progunner :D
 
I'm in, its been awhile since I ate some squirrel roast over an open fire. But I'm wondering, do I get banned from the hunt if I bring gold instead of blue label? See, blue is too rich for my tastes. and to be honest, I prefer the taste of gold over blue anyways.

Hope that last isn't sacrilege to you Jerry! ;)
 
I've a question for you Jerry. Are you building that flintlock from scratch or did you get one of Wayne Dunlap's kits (or maybe another that I dont know of)? I'm sure that this isn't a problem you suffer from but I'd have no idea where to start in building one from scratch.

NOW you’ve got me interested. :D:D

I’ll bring some Bundaberg RUM, just in case of snake bite or the need of some tick serum. :cool::D
It’s not much use for a sing-along, most fellas just end up howling at the moon. :D

Caliber schmaliber!
Just grab up some 2.5" caliber glass hollow points and learn to throw on the stumble in route to the pee stump and voila! A little salt and a boiling pot are all you'll need for a furry mouthfull:D

(don't forget to remove the label for improved fragmentation;))

You supply the INFI barrel, I'll get the tigerstripe maple on order for the stock.




But be sure that INFI barrel is ground out for .223 Remington rounds at exceedingly high speeds..... ;) :D :D

Like ol' Dan'l Boone, I salt my rounds. That way with one shot I hit 'em, gut 'em, skin 'em, cure 'em, and grind 'em into little bitty pieces of squirrel sausage meat.
 
48,000 emails have now convinced us that .40 calibers should be allowed. . . . :eek:

On another note, it is important that we use flintlocks only. . . here's why: if we use percussion and/or modern firearms the odds of killing squirrells goes through the roof. That means that we'll have to get up and move to a new location and I can assure you that I will be in no condition to move!!!! :eek:

:D

Hey Jerry, That's kinda like when we go night fishing in Hawaii and don't bait the hooks when we cast the lead out so that when we are drinking our Blue Label, smoking our Habana cigar, enjoying the warm gentle breezes, gazing at the moon and the stars, and listening to the sounds of the surf...... we aren't bothered by having a fish bite our hook! :eek: :D

It's exactly like that, only there's NO surf and NO warm gentle breezes. . . .
Man, I hate guys who live in nice climates!!!! :mad: . . . . ;)
