First Flintlock Deer

[Old Charlie]

Today was the opening day for muzzle loader season in Alabama. I managed to get my first flintlock deer. It was a very small doe. I got her late in the day and had poor light and sixty-nine year old eyes. If I had been able to see better I would have passed on her.
Also I had given a guy that hunts with us a CVA Hawken .50. He wanted to try them smoke poles. I was no longer shooting the gun, so I gave it to him. He got his first muzzle-loader deer this morning. A rather large doe. He said you know , I think I will use this thing during regular gun season some. I think he is hooked!
And now the rest of the story! This morning I flat just missed a big at least six point buck! Me friend said those horns got in my eyes. He might just be right.
