Wish me luck.
I am going out to Western MA with Kim's dad tonight. Tomorrow will be the last day of the season for me. I took my 50cal. Hawkin out of the safe last night to check it over. Good thing I did. I noticed some crud in the nipple so I tried to blow some air through the barrel, nothing. So I took her down, and flushed with HOT water. No water was making it out. I poked into the hole with a tooth pick, and it started to trickle out. After a couple of minutes, and repeated fresh hot water into the barrel the water was flowing freely. Damn good thing I thought to check it out.
So tomorrow will close the deer season for me, I am really hoping on getting something.
I will post a report either tomorrow night or Sat.
