Well, I've been hunting hard everyday since the Flintlock season opened and it finally happened. After missing one Saturday I finally got my first deer with the flintlock. This is the first year I've really got serious with the flinter and I think I'm addicted to the late season.

50 yard shot, T/C Hawken,75 grains FFg,PRB, Dropped in her tracks.

Thanks guys, I learned alot from all the guys on here about flintin'. From what loads to try to how to make a great lock cover, you guys got it all covered. Thanks again for all the help.
congrats you never forget the first. i started hunting with the flinter about 10 years ago and has to be one of my favorite times of the year.

WPAtrapper, great job on the doe! Just got my first one last week on my first hunt ever with a flinter! I can honestly say I am totally hooked. I can't imagine taking anything else out in the woods but the ML for the rest of the season (5C -ML buck and antlerless until Jan 23rd).

I quoted your last comment because this site has been invaluable to me as well. The info on here most definitely helped me score my first flintlock deer!

Thanks guys!
congrats
Great job! I took my first flintlock deer a few years back, and I have been hooked ever since. What caliber are you shootin' I'm guessing a .50 cal.
Good job. Can't wait to get back out on Friday.
