Good luck to all that will head out for one of the most cherished hunts in this state. Remember that the season was extended a week statewide this year so we now will have 4 Saturdays to chase them deers with the flinchlock. I chose to not shoot a doe in rifle this year so I will be on the hunt in a few weeks. 

Got my possibles bag and quick reloads all set up and ready to go and gave the flintlock a good going over. Re-set the flint and swabbed the bore.  Now all we need is some cold weather and some snow. Long range forecast for the first Saturday doesn't look all that promising. 

Welllll Gene.... ya should know by now, I can't (won't) resist a chance to throw my two cents in.


Good luck, be safe.

Great and extra week to kill more does......

I know a guy that's killed 3 deer already and is ready to go flintlock and fill one more tag .
He's 68 years old and lives alone !
 
Possession obsession maybe ?    Whatever turns you on I guess .....I don't need or want that much speed beef !

When this season was first established, if you wanted a flint tag, you had to give up your doe application. Never got to “hunt” it because of this and one and done. Not that I didn’t go — designated dog. That’s how we hunted this season — drive, drive, and drive some more. I swear my legs were 3 inches shorter at the end of the season.

When the rules changed and I actually got to shoot, it was great! But now, I think I would be more accurate with my crossbow. I sure as heck wouldn’t flinch as much and it is a world easier to clean.

+1 on the cross-bow. Bullseye every time at 55 yards with the bow. Not so much with the flintlock.

Well, go get em folks. My flintlock season starts tomorrow. Looks like fog in the morning then warm and partly cloudy in these parts. I plan to do an all dayer. 
 
Good luck to those headed out. 

Just came back in after a deerless 7 hours. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Just couldn't bring myself to hang in there for another 3.
