Keeping your powder dry and then yourself in the same state are primary concerncernsIn the cold your hands become stiff and you begin dropping things and after a while any other indoor sport begins to appeal. but you're pretty hard nosed and are bu God going to stick it out.You'll perhaps see deer out there but maybe not as many as in more favorable weather/ You begin to figure the deer aren't as thick headed as you are and tend to look for a bit more shelter than you have found.
You are keeping your flintlock and the carefully charged pan as safe as possible inside a cow's knee leather arrangement in place but in you heart you know the powder in the pan is reaching to grab moisture out of the air so it won't have greet the flint spark with any welcome.
You see a deer. aim Oh so carefully pull the trigger creating a loud silence as the pan has made its decision making enough noise to cause the deer to become a memory.. Annoyed as all hell you recheck the rifle a snap off another blank quiet but this time there is the great white cloud. the big bang and the ball goes off to make an unwritten memorial to your wasted day.
You smell that some. forget all the grief and think "What a great day. Dammit"
Were having a lot of that weather all across the great plains area these days. I don't know what areas might be open season now but there are still a lot of hard shell BP hunters out there somewhere.
I have never had venison harvested in the field but I have had ranch raised corn fed venison served in a restaurant I was doing advertising for and when I ran and dressed to all the unsuccessful deer hunters and have a taste of ou good stuff and a copy of our recipe the sky fell in on me and the restaurant it is illegal to sell any meat from wild game in Missouri. Even if it was raised in New York state.
Tasted good before the major confiscation..
