Flintlock first

[stone knife]

My first trip in the woods with my TVM Fowler produced my first ever flintlock game harvest. Saw some sign today on my walk and heard a few squirrels but saw none till i sat down in one of my favorite spots. I had been there about 15 min. when this one appeared about 25 yards in front of me, when her head went out of sight I cocked the gun and readied it for the shot. After awhile she reappeared so I took aim and fired, had to wait for the smoke to clear before I saw her laying there. Pretty neat stuff this flintlock hunting.

Yup, there's no turning back. I have a setup similar to yours and took my first smoothbore game, a deer, last season. Through my own screw-ups I missed out on a couple of turkeys.

Way to go buddy. I REALLY want a 20 gauge flintlock fowler. I just can't afford it right now. One day though, I'll get my first kill with a flintlock. Congrats.

Good job :hatsoff:
I`m eager to get into the flintlock game my self. I`ve got the parts for a 20ga trade gun and will be doing the build this winter. Something tells me flintlocks are going to be alot more fun than my percussion guns.
Again..Good job and enjoy :thumbsup:

About three times more on the Fun-O-Meter by my measure. :haha:

I'm going to delicate my entire gun season to hunting with my flintlocks. I would rather shoot a fawn with flint then a giant with a modern rifle, and who knows if a good one come in to my comfort zone he may be coming home with me :grin:
