I’ll be out tomorrow, wearing my 1770s reproduction colonial long coat. It weighs nine pounds and is the warmest outerwear I own. If I run out of lead balls, I can cut off the pewter Rogers Rangers buttons and melt them down for replacement ammo. The woods conditions are terrible, but we will be doing drives, so hopefully the deer will move in front of our sights. Good luck to everyone

Your awesome!

Thank you, but it was awesomely cold out and that coat is like wearing a heavy blanket

Will do. Made by a very nice and talented lady named Barb Shaputis, (717) 582-8147, who operates “Yester Year” shop here in Central PA. She has outfitted entire groups of matching reenactors.

Was going to get the little carbine Pa hunter flintlock Shooting today… Just didn’t have enough time after shooting Hawkin. It will stay unfired… as it’s been for 20+ yrs

Had cast some .50 Ball at 183gr and some Lee Real bullets at 253gr for for it.

Maybe next week I can get it shootin…. And then use in Pa soon.

Pedersoli Jaeger .54 Flintlock is ready.

Hope some deer are left…

as I see many hunters are gettin em

I'm hoping to get out tomorrow. I was looking around yesterday and ran into several fresh tracks.
I'll be using the .45 I bought off TVM a while back.
A week ago before the storm hit I made sure it was still hitting where I aimed it.

I like that rifle!

 

[JamesT]

for the berks guys ,we now live in Berks , moved from and hunted in Lycoming (flintlock season there was only flintlock) do you wear hunter orange in the mixed season(rifle doe)

I believe it is required in the special regs areas of 5C.

Congrats to all who got a deer! I've been hunting new territory this week which is always a challenge. This morning was perfect hunting. Was in the woods early and saw 2 just about first light. Still too dark to shoot. Plenty of deer sign where I'm hunting. Just need to figure out their patterns. It was warm and damp enough that the ground was perfect for still hunting. I will be out again Monday and have a plan so I'm feeling optimistic!

@Pipercub thats a nice buck, but what the heck is that on the end of his right antler?

 

[BoomStick]

I believe it is required in the special regs areas of 5C.

Not required but game commission recommends as there is an open regular firearms season. The extended doe season had been in just the counties limited to shotgun, muzzleloader and archery but now the entire WMU is included. Lots of hunters in the woods this opening week, but in 15 years hunting the SE corner of the state have not once met another hunter carrying flintlock.

Really? Ok. Not the way I read it. Glad I'm in 4C with none of that. Too much overlap of seasons all over.

Thanks! It was my first ML after getting back into it. I'm pretty happy with it.
Swamped barrel and has a really good feel to it.

And shoots good, too. Here's three shots at 50yds (off a bench of course )

I ran 2 hrs north on Monday since it's one of the 2 places I have a doe tag for.
It was 5 degrees and a fresh dusting of snow ontop of crust when I started out at day break. It was awesome.
It was where I hunted this fall and shot a doe.
I honestly was hoping just to see a deer.. Oh. My. Word.
By 1:45 when I left for home, I had seen 16 doe and 3 bucks. The one buck was a really really good one, big frame. He jumped from his bed at 75 yards.
I had one far shot at a doe that stood still unaware of my presence and I missed.
All the others just had to much stuff between us or wouldn't hold still for a shot. It seemed like every bench I got on, I was into the deer.
This was Tioga County in Tioga State Forest.

Going out to a good spot tomorrow. Hopefully get into em again.
