Finally Connected with a Flintlock!!!

Used my Kibler Colonial .50 I finished last fall. Gorgeous rifle and an heirloom piece for certain. A .490 ball and patch over 75gn of powder did a number on her! Truthfully I was surprised at how much damage a round ball could do. Her lungs and heart were obliterated. If I didn’t know better I would have said it was a high powered rifle round that did that.

In any event, this was the first deer I’ve ever taken with a flintlock. It was in PA’s late season FL only. Weather was cold and snow and it was the very last day of the season and my last time I could get out to put some food in the freezer. I am still riding that high!!

Congratulations! I'm hoping to get my first rifle deer next season, EHD did a number on the population last year unfortunately.

Big doe with a beautiful rock lock. Congrats to you!

Congrats!

I can't see all of her, but from what I can see she looks like a whopper!

Congrats buddy she's a big ol' nanny. Lots of backstraps and tacos right there! Extra sweet is you got her with a rifle you put the time in putting together.

Congrats on a fine deer. Getting it with a ML you built gives it more meaning.

Congrats! Pretty amazing feeling, isn't it?

Congratulations to you and your Kibler Colonial's first kill.

Congrats.

Congrats good shot and filing the freezer !

Congrats! Nothing like making smoke and meat.

Nice

Congrats, great deer and nice looking rifle.

Congrats. A mature doe can be the most skittish critter in the woods.

Outstanding. I was out in that nasty weather in Northern PA that final weekend too. Extremely cold and windy. Horrible conditions where I'm at. Great job filling that tag!

Well done

Congratulations. Traditional muzzleloader and last day yeah.

Congrats! That will be some fine eating.

Congratulations! Looking at your picture, it had to be a very short tracking job. Those Colonials, regardless of caliber, are just plain elegant. I love mine, she's long and sexy!

Great job ! Congratulations !! Enjoy all that meat !!
