Firelock Hunting Society
Here’s your opportunity to join an organization that has no dues, holds no meetings, has no officers and has but one requirement: you must have harvested live game with a muzzleloading firearm which uses an external ignition system (i.e. flint lock, cap lock, wheel lock, match lock) and is sighted without electronic or optical glass aids. You are encouraged to post stories and snapshots in the Muzzleloading Hunting section here and, to commemorate your achievement, this forum has been offered a special discount by the firm which produces pewter pins for other wildlife related groups and hunting societies. (see letter at bottom from Rod Harrison) .
The fairness of the chase is up to your own personal principles and there are no size requirements or minimum standards to be met. Every animal is a trophy and every meal a feast. Small game, large game, upland, waterfowl, any legal game creature is acceptable.
The purpose of the Society is simply to offer you the chance to share your thrill of the hunt and joy of the prize among your appreciative peers. Your name will be temporarily registered in a place of high honor in the great nebulous ether of the World Wide Web until such time as the old files are overwritten. Certificates, wall plaques and taxidermy mounts are available to you through your own diligence and at your own expense.
