32 Cal
This year WV implemented a Mountaineer Heritage Season after all other seasons where a hunt may hunt with "primitive " equipment. That includes caplock, flintlock rifles, and trad bows.
So, I took out my 50 cal TC Hawken caplock and snuck around the woods for all of 5 mins before I found a small doe hunkering down away from the snow.
I was able to get lined up on her and make a great double lung shot at 25 yards. She ran about 10 yards and fell over! I'm blessed to get 1 more deer for my wife and I!
I was wondering if any other WV hunters were on this forum and hunted in this inaugural season?
