Great story Skychief. Appreciate you sharing your success, congratulations! Beautiful buck, and with a flinter! Nicely done. Cheers
 
Thank you for the replies all.

I don't know Mike as I've not bothered laying a ruler to the rack.

Best regards, Skychief.

PS, his teeth showed that he was 5 1/2 or 6 1/2 years old according to a biologist/taxidermist.

Wow! Very nice buck, and a great story. Thank you for sharing it. Well done holding out for a better shot, many would not have had the self discipline to pass that shot with a bow. Good for you.
I guess this answers the question I've been wondering about regarding your eyes and if you are shooting again.
 
I didn't mention, though it might be of interest to some, my rifle had been loaded since mid November until fired during the hunt yesterday.

I took no special precautions besides using a cow's knee in a few light rains and a good bit of heavy drizzles. When the time arrived, she fired with no lag nor hesitation.

Flintlocks are more reliable than some would have you believe.

Long live the flintlocks!!!!!!

Now, back to regular programming......:thumb:
 
Skychief, you really did kill "El Macho Grande". If I'd seen him I'd have surely fallen out of my seat. Congratulations on a true "monster" buck.
