1st Flintlock & 1st Deer

[WHITE OAK FROSTY]

I normally Bow Hunt, but decided to give black powder a try since I hunt Wheeler Refuge in north Alabama. I purchased a 54 cal. Great Plains Hunter a few weeks ago. On my third trip to the timber I harvested my first Flintlock trophy, a nice plump spike. I have killed several big bucks with my bow, but I'm hooked on the Flintlock. What a thrill!! I plan on posting a pic of my flinter and buck soon.

Welcome to the forum and to the world of flintlocks. I have a .54 GPR flinter I just love, but had no luck this year. Congradulations and ROLL TIDE!!

I grew up hunting Wheeler with my dad, who is a blackpowder fanatic. We moved to Louisiana years ago, but I still make a yearly trip back to Wheeler for a flintlock hunt. Got a brother who lives in Decatur still, so I even get a free place a to stay for a week. Love hunting that refuge.
