First Flinter kill!

FiremanBrad · Jan 18, 2016

I've killed several deer and likely a dozen turkeys with cap locks thru the yrs, and packed this smoothbore last spring for turkey and this past fall for deer. Just didn't get the right shot until the other day on a nice fat tree rat!
I even wore me old Timey duds to do it right!! Glad I had some wool on hand, it was about 28 deg that afternoon!

Congrates! Good stuff :thumbsup:. I pretty much use my flint smooth bore for all my hunting anymore.

Congratulations Brad, nicely done. Any game animal taken tastes better if flavored with black powder.......robin :bow:

Good for you, and thanks for sharing the story,

Yup, thought I wanted to turn it into a Capote, but it's quite handy just belted at the waist like this!!!

Comin' up on that photo from the bottom of the page, I just about didn't recognize you...I'm used to seeing you in your 1860s garb, with caplocks.

It's nice to see that you look right at home in the century previous, as well.

That's a fine looking smoothbore, and you put it to right good use

Thank ya kindly!!

Hoping to give me Trade Gun a try at em this coming weekend! Got busy this past weekend with other things!

Nice harvest. Save the furs from the headshots. although not alot of hide, it is very durable fur.
