Built his first flintlock and took a deer with it.

Nice video.
I will add, though, that if I was gonna carry a deer out like that, I'd want a nice big piece of bright orange cloth wrapped around it! My daughter once shot a small antlerless buck (shot right in the heart in a facing shot--calm, deadly shooter, that girl).  I stuffed him in a big bag designed for carrying turkeys and carried him out in that.

Melting Lead in the garage is not very healthy.... But he can really be proud of his journey

Nice video and nice young man. It reminds me of my young neighbor college student 40+ years ago. He bought a Dixie flintlock kit and asked me to help him put it together. He'd come over after dinner and we'd work on it and finally he finished it and did a nice job. He said "Mr. Carl, I won't consider this rifle finished until I've killed a deer with it." I said "Randy, if that's the criterion, there are 7 unfinished rifles on that rack over there."
