Congratulations ramrod! I hope this will be the first of many deer to be taken with your flintlock rifle. My first flintlock killed deer was a doe in 1989. I used a 50 caliber Hatfield longrifle. I have hunted exclusively with flintlocks since 1996 and now would not consider hunting with anything else.
Worth the wait! Congratulations. :hatsoff:
