That's pretty cool man. I've hunted with mine a bit, and sometimes I feel like it might be harder to pull off than hunting with a trad bow

Very nice! Nice buck, Beautiful gun, and a lot of sentimental value all wrapped into one.

Looks wet there. That makes the flinter kill even more impressive

Nothing like putting one on the ground with a rock lock, good job.

Wet is not a problem if you know how to care for a flint lock in wet conditions, I do a lot of flintlock hunting. in snow, rain, fog whatever mother nature throws my way. Not all days in the whitetail woods is blue bird days. Never had a problem.

Very cool. Congratulations.

It can be a challenge. The stars aligned that day. Lots of times the miss fires and hang fires get the best of you.

I’ve had a lot of point and clicks in the kind of weather we had that day. I got a T&k hand muff and kept the action under it. Kept everything dry and a little luck probably helped

Well done. My favorite way to deer hunt.

Great buck Ronge!

@long hunter I’d be interested to know some tips and tricks for foul weather flintlock hunting…I’m a little paranoid and keep mine in a waterproof case to my deer blind
