Thank you. It's certainly my favorite season in many ways. It's a time to just get out and enjoy the outdoors without stress or expectations. Thanks for watching my video!
I name my deer guns after pretty celebrities. Like my 30/30 Sandra Bullet. My 270 Booma Thurman. My 308 Helen Hunter. My 44 lever gun Elizabeth Bangs. My flintlock is Wilma Flintstone.
Where I live the deer are really wired, the click of cocking a flintlock will send them in a panic over the next ridge, I noticed in the video your deer respond to the click as well. Now I use a leather frizzen cover, I cock my flintlock when I get settled in a stand, and put the cover over the frizzen so the gun can't go off. I have the cover tethered to the trigger guard under some tension so it can't ever slip off on its own. When a deer approaches, I flip the cover off and am good to go, no noise and no fumbling with cocking the gun with cold hands. The covers are called frizzen stalls, most of the traditional B/P suppliers like TOW sell them or you can make your own easily.
Do you guys ever flash your gun and pan before you load the gun or do you take a clean rag and. Wipe the pan out and the touch hole I have never scene any body do that maybe it might go off
I usually clean mine each time. Then I don't run the heat in the truck on the way to the field. I load once I get out in the woods. On the rare occasion I don't discharge it, I leave it in my truck overnight, so it never warms up and again don't run the heat in the truck on the way to hunt. After that I just do everything I can to not let moisture into the pan. I would never flash it or wipe it. I also replace flints more often than is probably needed.
Awesome hunt. There are few pleasures in this world as fine as a successful hunt. By the way, what song is that playing while you're tracking the deer? Good jam.
I have had deer that close, spook at the double click, when you pull the hammer back. Noise travels far on clear crisp snow covered days. I hold my trigger back when I cock it than let off the trigger to set. Almost no sound at all.
Congratulations! Any flintlock harvest is a true trophy in my mind.
Nice job. The Pa Flintlock season is a blast.

That's a very interesting solution. I'll have to take a look.
Nice
Great job.
Is it round ball only or can you use a maxi ball to anyway great job
You can use maxi ball. The flintlock I have uses a higher rate of twist than the old long rifles, allowing minie-ball or sabots.
@@huntingscienceexplained9825 okay thanks we here in nc can use modern day inline rifles
