My Dad has a 20 gauge Fowler that he has been messing with. It shoots decent, but definitely seems to be a close range gun.Shot and missed a couple times with the 20ga flintlock today. No luck but it was nice to get out to the woods again.
No shot cup, no choke, full load of #6 isn't that much shot. Fiber wads over and under the shot probably mess with the pattern a bit.My Dad has a 20 gauge Fowler that he has been messing with. It shoots decent, but definitely seems to be a close range gun.
I think they call it Rouff now but it will always be Deer Creek to me also...Skunked this morning with my son at Deer Creek FWA. He is getting to be good at moving through the woods and listening for sounds though. He's almost 8.

As gross as it is, I have simply resigned myself to eating squirrel hairs. I figure it's extra fiber in the diet.I absolutely love squirrel hunting, but man do I hate cleaning hairs off the meat. I’ve tried every possible tactic known to man and watched every YouTube video on cleaning, can never get it right.
Anyone else using an air rifle this season? Going to bust out my FX Impact this season.I have a pile of great .22 rifles but hunt almost View attachment 216312exclusively with a .25 air rifle now-quiet, accurate and most importantly safe!
Get them soaking wet b4 you skin them. Wet hair doesn't stick to wet meat nearly as tightly as dry hair. What little hair ends up on the carcass, you can also burn off with a propane torch.I absolutely love squirrel hunting, but man do I hate cleaning hairs off the meat.

Doesn't always clear all the hair in my experience.I skin them dry hanging on a nail, then rinse them in cold water. No hair afterwords.
