Thanks!

Will ToSurvive Thanks. Hope to make more this upcoming season.

Thanks!

Thanks! Be sure to check out our other videos too!

Thanks! I try to make one or two every season, if I have tags left and time to film.

Thanks! Good luck to you next year!

Thanks!

+Stryder Tesshu Good hunting to you also, we need to be thankful for our earth and what God has given us and having respect for animals and one another is a great start.

LOL I didnt even notice that till after I had it edited. Figures something like that would happen. At least it wasnt a fourwheeler or something else. Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, I was really unsure about putting that much walking around and the long sneak before I shot. But, since alot of people like to know how I do it and what it takes to sneak up on deer, I decided to show the whole thing. I wanted this video to be a bit shorter but I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do on the editing table so I just left it all in.

+Leatherwood Outdoors love it

Thanks!

Thanks! Hopefully next year.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Hope you get many more with that hat!

+yq397r Thanks!

+Leatherwood Outdoors what gun do you have?

Geoffrey Rj tvm .50 cal flintlock

Thanks for the respons and i think i will get one do you no where i can get one?

you can look on the TVM ( tennesse valley muzzleloader) website. Also look for Taditions Deer Hunter for a cheaper alternative or if you can look on classifieds to find a Thompson Center Hawkin that would be a good gun for less than a TVM.

Steve Lasley Thanks. Plan to do another this season. It does take alot of time to put into making a good video. Hopefully I can make an even better one come this upcoming flintlock season.

Thanks!

Thanks! The thing I thought was rather funny was hearing the airplane in the backround in some parts along with the birds lol.

+Dan Means just patch and ball. around 75 grains of 2F GOEX powder. Pretty simple load.

+Dan Means Hope to do more this season.

Me as well!

www.muzzle-loaders.com/rifles/traditional-muzzleloaders/traditionstm-kentucky-rifle-kit.html Here's a good place to get one. :) They have both Cap fired n' flint fired rifles.

Thanks!

***** I'm not familiar with the TVM. Is this a smoothbore? I'm looking at getting a .62 cal fowler built here shortly.

lplozada TVM (Tennessee Valley Muzzleloaders). It is a rifled long gun. I do believe TVM makes a fowler also. Also look into Early Rustic Arms. Thats the kind of .62 cal fowler I have.

***** Thanks for the recommendation. I just checked out TVM's website and those are some beautiful firearms. I'll be sure to look up Early Rustic here shortly. Just so you know, I actually commissioned a .28 GA smoothbore through Tip Curtis shortly after my first post. It should be done around June. Being a PA kid now militarily stationed just next door in Ohio, I have to admit that your video has me wanting to come back there to give the flintlock season a shot next year!

well, I , at one time, thought the same thing. What changed was when I read about the history of the flintlock in america from a hunters perspective. It gave me a whole new mindset on how important a flintlock was. I then realized that men in the 18th and 19th century were more of a hunter than I could ever be in a lifetime. It was all they knew and they had to know to in order to survive. Thats when, by inspiration by a few fellow flintlock hunters, I decided to see for myself what it was really like just to spend a day wearing just what they did back in those times. Those men were not just hunters, they were people trying to make a living in a new land. It feels more rewarding and also challenging that way also. I cant really see myself going back.

***** I am not knocking your choice to dress the part. Forgive me if you may have thought that. However, its just not a choice that I'd make. I have always loved the guns of the colonial period, but the clothing never attracted my attention.

Nickathome Smith I didnt take it that way at all. I wasnt making a rebuttal. Just sharing my thoughts. I wouldnt knock anyone if they did or didnt. Its all on preference really. Doesnt make me any better of a hunter than anyone else. Hope you keep having fun with the flintlock. Thats what its all about no matter how you dress. Having fun making meat is the goal.

will be post just one more here in a day or so.

Great Video . You will have to head down to the Jefferson Co. Longrifle Rendevouse this July and do some Shootin` and Hawk and Knife tossin` and meet some long time Buckskinners...

CAHILLEMT ball block. you can take any peice of wood and drill holes in them to fit. Not always have to be tied around the neck.

Well, not everthing I am wearing is 100% period correct. I am wearing brown jeans for pants and muck boots for my feet. to dangerous to wear period correct shoes when there is snow and ice. anyways, i have made it work for the videos so far. Last season I switched to more of a work boot that looked a bit more realistic but footwear in winter is really not ideal for reenacting. I get away with it in the videos. Although, I still plan to get closer each season but its tough to find stuff.

Leatherwood Outdoors what about fall attire?

@@faithlessberserker5921 I dont dress in the fall. I would have to wear blaze orange according to the law so its useless to me to dress in the early season.

+Jordan haelterman haelterman no, it is not deer skin. I am not wearing anything deerskin. Mostly wool and linen. If I had deer skin leggings I would wear them but I have none at the time being.

is that gun strong enough to take down a grizzle bear or a blackbear

Like anything else, depends on lots of factors. Many people would never recommend shooting round ball at a bear. But a Minne ball, sure. Also the grain of the bullet and the amount of powder used will affect the outcome. In short, high powder load with a minne or maxi ball, definitely. High powder load with round ball, yes if you're a good shot. Anything low powder and you're looking to just piss it off.
