Awesome buck, and with a flintlock. That is one of my goals.

Nice buck, particularly doing it the more challenging way. Congrats!

[John Allen]

Congrats, that is awesome.

[BCgunworks]

To be honest....the Lyman shoots almost as good as an inline....as long as the weather is dry.

[BCgunworks]

I can keep it on an 8" steel plate to 125 yds....after that I'm done.

That IS a big buck for southeastern Virginia!

Good going! I've only been out hunting once. My back is so bad I could only stand an hour of hunting. I kind of dread shooting a deer or elk this year, no idea if I will be able to pack them out.

Great buck! Done the traditional way.

Congratulations on a fine buck. I'm partial to traditional bp rifles myself although mine uses a cap. Never shot a flintlock before but would sure like to.

I've only shot a flinter a few times. That was enough to see they would some severe getting used to.
That would be a nice buck with any gun but my hats off to ya for closing the deal with a flinter!

Gotta love that soft, heavy, slow lead. The only real "bang flop" I've had was a very close shot with an 1858 Remington and a .452" round ball right behind the shoulder. Congratulations on a fine buck and staying with the sights through the shot. I don't know much about flinters except lock time and $$$ are inversely proportional, my experience anyway.

That's a fine buck and doubly so to be taken with a flintlock...congratulatons! I've looked hard at the lyman deer stalker before, but never tried one. Good to know it's an accurate one.

Congratulations with yer smokepole.

[freebullet]

That's a dandy deer, rifle, & hunt. Congratulations! Thanks Fer sharing.

Magnificent buck. I have trained many of them in situation awareness and quick reaction when I have hunted with my flinter. None of them have ever leaked blood on me though.

Well done sir. That is a fine looking buck. My flintlocks are my favorite.

Take a youngster with you and teach him how to hunt. In return he can help with all the heavy lifting. My uncle was a hunter all his life but can't do it alone anymore either. He taught me all I know about hunting, skinning, and processing meat.
