    Awesome!! Now thats a trophy for sure. I had a big one 65 yards away the other year and the flint just sparked. When you get one with a flinter that is braggin rights!
    Look twice, shoot once.

    That is fantastic! When I've been down to hunt in Tennessee, the bucks are half that size!

    That's as good as it gets. Nothing like taking a nice deer with a favorite flintlock. Congratulations.
