I'll admit my enthusiasm for hunting is at a very low ebb. With crossbows flooding the woods even in Jersey now I'm getting soured on archery. I've always disliked rifle season,I had alot of bad experiences with slobs when I was younger. My father cant really hunt very well anymore so he's giving me his flintlock. Its a T/C Hawken 50 cal. He said he will give me a crash course on using it this weekend and what shot best out of it, he claimed the conical maxi's flew alot better than round balls. Been reading thru some of the threads here and I'm actually looking forward to taking it for a long walk on the of the bigger SGL's within an hour drive like 211 near Pine Grove. Don't expect to see anything its just kinda exciting learning a new weapon. One thing about reading the regs tho, it says you dont have to use flo orange for muzzle loader, ok what about 5C? There is an extended doe season down here and if you in berks or lehigh you can use a rifle. Do you still not need orange? Trust me I'll probably at least wear a hat anyway. I just like the idea of being alone in the woods, far away from the car. Maybe from now on I'll be a bow/muzzle loader guy I dunno
