Finally Connected with a Flintlock!!!

[Valkyrie]

Used my Kibler Colonial .50 I finished last fall. Gorgeous rifle and an heirloom piece for certain. A .490 ball and patch over 75gn of powder did a number on her! Truthfully I was surprised at how much damage a round ball could do. Her lungs and heart were obliterated. If I didn’t know better I would have said it was a high powered rifle round that did that.

In any event, this was the first deer I’ve ever taken with a flintlock. It was in PA’s late season FL only. Weather was cold and snow and it was the very last day of the season and my last time I could get out to put some food in the freezer. I am still riding that high!!

Congratulations! I'm hoping to get my first rifle deer next season, EHD did a number on the population last year unfortunately.

Big doe with a beautiful rock lock. Congrats to you!

 

[Spikebuck]

Congrats!

I can't see all of her, but from what I can see she looks like a whopper!

 

[snakebit]

Congrats buddy she's a big ol' nanny. Lots of backstraps and tacos right there! Extra sweet is you got her with a rifle you put the time in putting together.

Congrats on a fine deer. Getting it with a ML you built gives it more meaning.

Congrats, great deer and nice looking rifle.

Congrats. A mature doe can be the most skittish critter in the woods.

Outstanding. I was out in that nasty weather in Northern PA that final weekend too. Extremely cold and windy. Horrible conditions where I'm at. Great job filling that tag!

 

[Duk]

Well done

 

[Antelope Pete]

Congratulations. Traditional muzzleloader and last day yeah.

 

[x_count]

Congrats! That will be some fine eating.

Congratulations! Looking at your picture, it had to be a very short tracking job. Those Colonials, regardless of caliber, are just plain elegant. I love mine, she's long and sexy!
