My sister stored them that way for a year, didn't notice anything bad about them. They seemed to dry out a bit, and the wood had absorbed some of the grease. They loaded and shot just fine.

I usually unload my loading blocks after the season is over. Before using coon grease I have had some of the round ball get powdery. Haven't left them loaded like that for more than a few months since.

Rendered coon fat oil is a very good cooking oil. Saves money at the grocery store. No parasites or diseases to worry about as it has been cooked at a high temp.

Bird feed, wood stove fuel.
Sure makes good heat

Thanks again k snow. When you give advice about muzzleloading, I pay attention.

I dump it on certain bait piles the birds sure enjoy it.

I used to have an outdoor wood boiler that I burned wood in. Coon fat was great for starting a fire and not toxic to the environment like some other fire starters are.

Lug, if you try it out, please let me know how it works for you. Several club members have used it, and so far there aren't any real complaints.

A natural lure base I use skunk oil and grease as a lure base the oil for liquid base the grease for a paste base.
