If You only had one flintlock?

I'd go with either a 20 gauge or maybe even a 24 gauge smoothbored gun. Loaded with shot for small game & round ball for the big stuff.

This would be my vote! There is not a critter on the planet that will not go down with a properly loaded Smooth Bore of those calibers. As long as you put it where it needs to be.

Granted you have to get a little closer so on dangerous Game, the pucker factor goes up, but well placed and it will go down!

I know a guy that can cut cards all day long with his 24 Gauge trade gun! They can be Very Accurate!!

Precisely. If I only had one flintlock, I would not be as happy as if I had a pile of them.

Why, of course! I cannot even entertain the thought, it pains me so. :haha:
