Found a little 3x4 this morning while carrying the GPR. 54 caliber roundball went thru both lungs at about 75 yards. The buck went about 50 yards before piling up.
Sixes unit, I was S of Myrtle Point.Very nice!
What unit was this in?
Blacktails and blackpowder in Alaska, that would be fun!!!I don't do a great deal of big game hunting anymore. And, for those times when I really feel compelled to hunt deer, I do so on my own farm for whitetails and really don't wish to spend money or time on very many big game hunts. That said, I've always been at least somewhat interested in a Blacktail deer hunt with flintlock rifle on Prince of Wales Island in southeast Alaska. Well done, they're beautiful animals and I'm told that they're absolutely delicious.
Exactly!! And I say this to all whom have dreamed of a specific hunt for years.I've been to POW Island a couple of times now (as well as Kupreanof Island once) and each time I look at the hills and imagine pursuing Blacktails. I'm not getting any younger, so if I'm to do so, I should probably plan a hunt one of these days, sooner rather than later.
And your on the dry side of the mountain, this coastal jungle is crazy.Very nice buck and just in time. Today you would need waders.

I lived on POW for 8 years and did a lot successful deer hunting. I killed a few with my 54 cal Leman style percussion I built. It rains 120 inches a year and flintlock hunting is tough. That's why I used percussion. There was, and still is, a 4 buck limit. It must be the diet but they were some of the best tasting deer I've eaten.
