After over 15 years of me scratching on this gun to get it to "in the white", it's finally done. Actually, I think I started it in the early 80's (an antique already!) and got it together and shooting in a reasonable time. Then I spent several years in-letting the patch box, and even longer getting it close to final shape. (I contemplate a lot!) (or don't know what I'm doing most of the time) I wanted some carving on the finished gun, a few "C" and "S" scrolls here and there, but couldn't bring myself to ruin a perfectly good rifle with my lack of carving talent. Anyway.... I found a young, starving, gunsmith close by in Oregon, ( Ron Diermier) and for less than the minimum hourly wage, I had him do the carving and finish it for me. He did an outstanding job as you can see I think, and I couldn't be more pleased!

Thanks for the tips. I try to be an eithical hunter, now wannabe trapper, and would only take what is in season. Exception probably would be coyotes. We have way too many, I would trap and dispatch to control population. I don't believe this stream has any beaver although we have them in the region. Bobcat, fox, coon, coyotes and feral dogs are most probable. Even a mountain lion is not out of the question but I would have to check laws on legality of that first.

Developed a good sense of position and direction - never needed a map or compass because the next road, trail, or field would only be 5 or 7 miles away. Moved to northeastern Ontario in '69 to go to college and took up prospecting as a hobby (outdoors and inexpensive enough for a student) but this was REAL bush country - trackless wilderness of swamps, rocks, and pine trees, 400 miles to the next road if you went south, no roads to the north, well at least not until after you crossed the Pole and ended up in Russia! - so I figured it was time to stop relying on my "internal" sense of position and direction - got maps and a compass. My first trip out with my new "navigational aids" was to be to an old mine site about 5 miles north of the only road in the area. I trekked out until I figured I was due south of the site and turned into the bush. After I had gone a mile or so on what I thought was "due North" (with a few detours around marshes, rock outcroppings, etc.), I checked the compass and it said I had turned to the west about 20 degrees. I couldn't believe it! I figured my course should be within 10 to 20 yards of my original line! I continued on what I was sure was due North for about another mile and checked the compass again - now it said I was going northwest!! Not believing my "internal" senses could be that far out, I detoured up a steep hill just off my path, to the very top, and climbed a pine tress. From the top of the pine tree I could see a distant microwave tower which was EXACTLY where my "internal" sense said it should be. When I climbed down the tree, I checked the compass again and the North arrow was pointed due SOUTH!!!! I took that compass and pitched it off the top of that hill with all my might!!! I picked up my initial track and hit the old mine site (a clearing about 300 feet in diameter) right exactly where I thought it should be - not bad, eh, to hit a 300 foot circle after 5 miles in the bush! I never trusted "machines" again, not over my own instinct - that damned compass would have got me lost in a country where they never would have found a body! (I found out later that the hill contained a huge iron deposit!)

Since the gun is a longrifle from back east and perhaps an earlier time and because your not real sure "when" you want to play, make or acquire a horn that fits the gun.
