first kill with flintlock

[mike garner]

i am trying to put a photo up but i don't think it will work. i went yesterday with my 50cal. lyman gpr and killed a doe at 60 yards. 75gr. of swiss 3f and a lee 495 soft lead ball. she ran about 30 yds from a hit in the shoulder, it came out behind the off side shoulder. this is the first time i ever took a flintlock hunting. i have killed deer all my life, 100s of them with scoped rifles and open sight antique rifles and recurve bows, but this was a real thrill different from the rest, i am hooked for life now! i am in the middle of building a 62 cal. jaeger, can't wait for next season.

No one warned you that using flint and steel to ignite your powder was addictive? :shocked2: Congratulations, I hope you have many more. :thumbsup:

Flintlocks have restored my desire to shoot, hunt, and have fun. I have always hunted but its a different experience for me when I am carrying a flintlock. Keep up the good work.
