Pa.Flinty only season?

[superkodiaksteiner]

My gun is a 50 caliber Investarms, Hawken style. Shoots great out to 100. I am looking for a shorter barrel length gun for my oldest boy who wants to join me! It's a tad on the heavy side for him.

The huge buck I was after since archery season turned up as a doe. Despite carefully looking at his head this morning as he walked by, to ensure it wasn’t a spike or a button buck, I thought it was a doe and shot just as he had cut my scent at 35 yards and froze. I’ll go look for his shed antlers after I’m done butchering him. Crazy weather has gone from pouring rain and horrible fog to now hot sunshine. I kept the flintlock under wraps and under my arm until I saw him, and only then brought the gun up. The air is so moist now that ignition could be a challenge. I’m feeling conflicted about this kill. On the one hand success is important. A lot of people are going to enjoy this animal. On the other hand, he’s a very old bruiser who I’d rather know was out there waiting for this fall. He had a huge rack.

Forget the deer, What a nice rifle and bag.

Here's a doe from last year. This is my first kill with REAL bullets that my boys and I poured. That was super fun.

What caliber? What weight? Pure lead or what Bhn?

I really like the REAL bullets

Was out several days over the last week and really can't believe I didn't get into deer. Saw a couple the other morning but was still too dark to shoot. Hunted hard today in a prime area I thought but just couldn't find em. Did find the old bones of a 19th century homestead in a hollow so took the opportunity for a photo.

Found a bunch of sign while still hunting after work Thursday night. I was able to sneak back in there for an evening sit last night. At 4:45 4 deer made there way to me through the thick brush; this big doe stopped in an opening at 67 paces. For the 2nd time this year, the 58cal round ball did a beautiful job. Man, I love Flintlock hunting!

Dandy doe, Pipercub, and beautiful flintlock. Memories and meat made all in one well timed trigger pull.
