Flint Lock Hunting Rifle

[hoochiepapa]

Same here, doegirl! I hunt for the meat, nothin' else. I lost a spike bull in my young and ignorant years, I shouldn't have fired. Hit him high in the shoulder area, just in the meat. I saw him the next day, chasing cows.
This debate could go on forever, it's age-old.

I am not questioning anyones ability but I do think comments need to be tempered with the understanding that many new to ML hunters may be looking for quidence and a conservative approach is likely the best advice to give.I have teken several Deer with head shots when my eyse were good and never lost one but I would not suggest such shots to someone who just took out their first ML from the box and are getting ready for their first Deer hunt with any type of gun.Some shot choices when talked about should be followed with a cautionary note.

As long as you have a reg. large game cal. wether for a ML or modern centerfire rifle you should be fine putting it in the broiler room with out having to worry about it. Although there is the occasional one that can take a heck of a vital shot and continue for a good time kicking.
