I'm pretty much the same way, deer hunted the last few years with flintlock and haven't looked back.
Never too late to get started.
I would like to offer this advice; Buy the best quality flintlock you can afford. Purchased my 1st Flintlock in the early 90's and the experience was mediocre at best. A few years later I shot my Uncle's Dixie Tennessee Mountain Rifle and was hooked. Does your wife have a long lost sister? If so, I may have married her. I sware my wife can smell the off brand cleaning supplies, gun oil or something...she always seems to know when a new or new to me gun has entered the house.

I also have 5 flintlocks . 3 rifles and 2 smoothbores , they took me 30+ years to collect and I have not bought a new one in 20 years .

I love my flintlocks…for summer, I want to start a rifle build. I want to build an early period full-stock hawken/plains rifle; curly maple stock, iron furniture, .54 calibre…I have issues…

I bought a rifle for my wife's birthday. She opened the present, seen it and said "you know after 25 years of being married, I don't shoot these things". Being a good husband, I told her "well I'm deeply sorry dear, I just wasn't thinking, if you don't want it I will take it". I only had to sleep in the barn for 3 nights. BUT I got my rifle. lol
Exactly what I want to build. Post pictures. Thanks
Hah! I guess I hit the jackpot in the Marriage category! My wife actually asked me to make a display of some of them in the living room. God, I love that Gal!!!!

A man has to be the one to pay the bills if you expect to put one over on her.
