Hunting with a Flintlock
I have never owned any type of muzzle loading rifle. I am considering going to a relatives property in Pennsylvania this year during flintlock season so I am in need of a crash course in flintlock hunting. They have been bugging me to come visit for a long time and they are using deer season as the 'bait' to get me to visit...
It is a great excuse for me to buy a new gun because I don't have a flintlock rifle but I don't know what to buy or what little tricks of the trade I may need to be aware of. Even if I don't shoot Bambi's parents this year, I am looking forward to black powder hunting as a new thing since I no longer need to worry about being deployed during hunting season.
Any advice is welcome.
