Filled the buck tag Monday on a fat doe.
It was the last day of the season.
The high was 12° and gusty, allowing me to slip hunt in fresh snow putting the odds in my favor compared to a normal day.
Deer were forced to feed in these conditions and I saw 21 deer throughout the day.
I shot this one somewhere between 70-80 it was across a dip, so hard to say for sure.

.58 early gun
.562 ball
.015 pillow ticking beargrease beeswax lubed
75 FFF Goex

4th flintlock deer this season. I used my buck tag which is allowed to be used on a doe in flintlock season.

Participating in a hunt dressed similarly to the way they did in the 18th century, was fun for a change.

My buddy edited the picture, I think it turned out really neat.

Did the clothes keep you warm or were frozen at the end of the day?
 
Congratulations on the fine doe and success in the weather. That's quite a feat. Appreciate you sharing with us.

By the way, l thoroughly enjoyed your video of the hunting with your little boy. That was special.
