WalkingW Report post Posted November 1, 2014 Just thinking if there was anyone that knows of anyone getting a coues with a flintlock someone here would know. So lets hear about it? I was lucky enough to take a nice buck with a flinter and would like to know how many others have been able to get one with their flintlock. I will post pictures of my buck when I get a way to get pics on the computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never hunted an Arizona whitetail with a flintlock, but I did shoot several Texas Hill Country deer with the first muzzleloader I built from parts from Dixie Gun Works and a piece of walnut from a tree we cut on the ranch we hunted. This flintlock was as close as I could make it to one of the guns shown in a book on "Golden Age" "Kentucky" long rifles. I haven't kept up with what's available in contemporary muzzleloading rifles. When they made them look like modern rifles, put scopes on them, and increased their range way past the 75-range that limited nineteenth century hunters, I lost interest and went back to using centerfires.
