This year I saved vacation time to take off between Christmas and New Year's for late flintlock. Opening day near home in Central PA I shot a spike at 30 yards which in PA under 3" spikes is considered antlerless.
Wednesday through Friday I hunted with friends in McKean County.
I shot one first thing Thursday morning at 25 yards. I was into the deer and that's not always the case in late season.
