Got it.
We used to live on Ohio Match, about a mile past Rimrock Road, maybe 3 miles from the National Forest. 
If nothing else, it sure made snowmobiling convenient.  We would just ride from the house, didn't need to trailer.

Well John they are calling for more snow higher up, above 4000ft.
 Another bomb cyclone.
 I hunt up Ohio match for elk unit 3
 Right where the private land, a tree farm , meets national forest.
 Encounter something almost every time I go there.
 Dec 2-8 is ANY elk muzzleloaders season
 Not a lot of snow yet so I may be able to get there for that

Well, I developed a powerful fondness for Longrifles especially flintlocks. I kept my T/C Hawken Flintlock ,50 and sold off the .45 and .36s. was that a mistake? I don't think so, I haven't regretted it yet. I have developed a case of Kibler-itis, though.

You could fit a pin to the hole and secure it with Locktite 620 (permanent--it is usually used for bearings and studs), then center punch and re-drill the hole with a drill press.  If you use JB, your drill bit may wander again when you hit it.

Kevin, is there anymore in the forecast for the next couple of days?
When the white, fluffy stuff started falling, it was always a time of high excitement for us.
That meant snowmobile season was about ready to start.
When there was about 6" on the ground on Ohio Match Road, east of 95, it was time.
It was rough as a cob, but if you got far enough back, it smoothed out pretty good.
On the other hand, regardless of the weather, on November 10, Area 4 opened up for black powder season and I was there.  I just loved hunting in those mountains.  Never got anything, but it didn't matter.  And the snow was just a bonus.

Got about 1 " of new first snow of the year today.
 Think I'll go hunting tomorrow morning, then off to the VA for 2 more appointments.

I still have all my TC's.  Last count was 1 New Englander, 5 Hawkens and 3 Renegades and the unmentionable Fire Hawk.  One of my Renegades is hardly a TC anymore either.  It has two .62 barrels one rifled and one smooth.  Sports a Brad Emig tuned L&R lock and a full stock curly maple replacement stock for it.  One of these days I should probably put them up for sale as I am not getting any younger and have stopped hunting.     :bigsmile:
