No. I was never "into" the period correct clothing stuff. Nor the cowboy shooting dress. I like to shoot....but I'll stay in the current year!! Actually, that ramrod is made (I made) from a blank hickory rod of 3/8" diameter. Then, using two wide chisel's set like a "V" in a vise, I pull the wood thru it and continue to turn it until the diameter.....all but maybe 2" or so at the top.....is down to 5/16". (The size of the RR pipes) Then I cut some grip groves into the top. It's a very period correct RR and works very well.

My best day this season was 11, but were I was, I wasn't doe hunting. I moved over 1 county to doe hunt. Seen a few, but no shots offered yet. Just a matter of time.

Great day in the woods yesterday even though no shots fired. I saw 24 deer including two bucks. Everything was either too far or couldn't get them to stop.
Saw something very interesting. Guys were driving a side hill that I could see pretty well from my vantage point. 4 deer busted across the hill a few hundred yards ahead of the drivers. The lead doe hopped a fairly large fallen down tree and immediately laid down on the other side and put her head down flat on the ground. The other deer followed suit. When the drivers passed about 60 yards above them, they got up and went back the way the came. Smart critters!!
