If you have a young son or daughter holding them for you and the larger ones with big balls do what my Dad said to me. " This ones been around longer than I have" or This ones has lots of packing on him" better put these in the pan that Mama's going to cook in gravey. Best ones are 1 year old fox s...
The best to me is a little salt, pepper, flour and fried. Nothing better than fried squirrel. We seperate the young from the old ones when we clean them. If there balls are as large as yours than cook them in the oven with gravey, over rice, or pressure cooker. The young ones are better fried....

Thanks guys for ya'lls suggestions. I am taking both of them to a gunsmith that several people have recommended to me. I want both set around the 2.5-3 lb range....
I think I saw a Ruger pellet gun at Academy last week, it caught me eye but was in a hurry and didn't get a chance to look it over....

Actually I have two rifles that need adjusting, Ruger 77 Remington 700 The Remington is the hardest but the Ruger is not clean, it has some drag....

I really don't know what the pull measures on my rifle but I know its too hard. When you have the crosshairs right were you want them and start that squeeze and it seems like it takes forever for the rifle to go off and your thinking in your mind damn when the hell is it going to FIRE!...

Your right about it being a important part of your accuracy. I shot a nice deer this past season and it seemed like a long time past with me squeezing the trigger before the rifle went off. I didn't think it was ever going to go off. I don't want a hair trigger at all but I sure don't want it to ...

I also thought it was dirty and took apart the rifle and cleaned with gun scrubber but still to stiff. 1.5 lbs seems light but if you practice with this and are use to it then it fits you. ...

Trigger pull

My hunting rifle has developed a harder trigger pull over the last few years. My question to ya'll is whats your trigger pull range, if you know it. How light or heavy would you go for a deer rifle?...

Thanks, I didn't know that some companies build scopes for muzzleloaders. I don't think I would take a shot over 200 yards with one. I...

I do most of my deer hunting in Harrison and Marion county Texas, close to Marshall and Jefferson. They have a 2 week season starting this year but book says it has to be loaded from the muzzle. I don't think 45-70 would fly over there. I would call Texas DWF before I chose something like that....

Knowing where that round is going to hit at a long distance is key, your right. I don't want to shot one to far off and wound the animal. I rather not shot at all than take that chance....

I heard the range on a muzzleloader sighted in is in the 200 yard range. Is this correct? Whats the longest range yall would fell confident on touching off a round?...

Muzzleloader

Posted by Purpletiger16 on 12/10/10 at 9:55 am
What muzzleloader do yall recommend, not wanting to break the bank but don't want a cheap one either. I don't know much about them. Also what kind of scope do yall recommend? Would you put the same type on your muzzleloader as you would your centerfire rifle? I thank yall for your suggestions....

Looks like Yankees and Rangers for ALCS. If it does end up this way who has home field advantage?...
