Spent a beautiful afternoon in the woods with Miss Elizabeth, looking for shed deer antlers. Didn't find any antlers but came accross a couple tasty critters!

Just getting home from a wonderful time in Georgia chasing Hogs! May I say the Flinters performed beautifully!! My first day slipping through the flooded timber I slipped into 20 yards of this Beautiful Boar with my .62 cal. Smoothbore, loaded with patch and roundball. Later in the week I...
Well Miss Elizabeth is my .62 cal. Smoothboar Flintlock. When she came home with me she had a 42" cylander barrel. Now she came out of the gate smacking critters down! From Turkeys, to Deer, and Wild Hogs, she shot a patched round ball well and was able to figure a good shot load for her...
