    Button buck in the snow

    No, I purchased it from the classifieds here in November and I've gotten two deer with it already. According to the seller it was built by Bruce Hamlin.

    Button buck in the snow

    The flintlock season in my area of PA has been snowy and cold, but on Friday 1/17 the sun came out and so did the deer. After one blown stalk I spotted another deer feeding out on a power line around noon. I was able to sneak along the edge with the deer facing away from me. I got within about...

    .440 round ball with 75 grains 3f at a doe, about 40 yard shot quartering to. Entered in front of right shoulder, stopped under skin on left side mid-ribs. There was blood on the left side so it must have just cut the skin. She ran about 50 yards with a pretty good blood trail.

    PA doe with .54

    I'm not too worried about the rest of the ball being in the meat, but I have bitten down on a TSS pellet in a turkey I killed, that wasn't very fun.

It had seen me and kept coming closer to investigate, shot was quartering to about 35 yards. PRB with 85gr 2F, went through the spine and lodged...

    Hello from PA

    Hello, I'm from PA and I've been shooting and hunting with flintlocks on and off for the past 20 years, but really getting more into it now. Just got a doe this week in PA's early muzzleloader season with my .54 Pedersoli Hawken. I'll definitely be looking to buy some stuff through the...
