This epidose has a lot of talk of shooting and hunting with flintlocks. Some other peripheral stuff to the muzzleloading world like the conflicts in the midwest with Native Americans, Daniel Boone, etc. It's a good one.

I also recommend skipping to the 40 minute mark if you are not already a fan of this podcast crew. Lots of rambling in the beginning.

Steve has one of the best podcasts on the market. I gather a lot of valuable information every Monday morning.

Did you see the Meat-eater show about deer hunting in Pennsylvania with T/C flintlocks? Much humor as they show how a flintlock works. They go through the loading procedure while it's snowing. Then on a hunt in deep snow and cold weather. Then there is a shot at a deer. Gloves on hands and set triggers. You can guess the results. ( Hint...the deer lives)

It’s enjoyable to watch the struggles of a newbie catch on to the difficulties. Steve has said he’d love to go back and try it again

That episode convinced me to get a flint.

Agreed. I look forward to it and the trivia shows every week.

I did enjoy that. Goes to show you...a traditional muzzleloader and a set trigger can humble even the most experienced hunter.

The guys in the podcast probably weren't even alive when I made that choice....

I was thinking the same thing.

I find Steve a bit of a flog, he was good but he's got so full of himself. Haven't listened to his podcasts in a few years but I recall a lot of bs and interrupting guests. Overrated as a hunter, he's lucky to have guys like Janis to help him.
