Yep ... Freer and Tilden ... rattlesnake capitol area of Texas, so's I'm told.

Supposedly lots of HOGS out there.  Sounds like an interesting place.   ;D
Many of them cried; "Me no Alamo - Me no Goliad", and for most of them these were the last words they spoke.

"The method I use is nearly identical to Whitebear's. If memory serves me correctly, I first read of this in an article by John Bivins in Rifle magazine."

I got the idea from Max Vickery in an article in Muzzle blast.  He was hunting squirrels with a .32 flintlock Bedford.  This was in the late '70"s or early "80's
if anyone has a copy of this article I would love to read it again.

The article on Vickory's squirrel hunt is in one of the Lyman BP handbooks- the second one, I think.
