That does look like a nice doe under that nice rifle.
-
Man, that's a beautiful rifle. And that doe is a big one, alright. You know how to get it done.
-
Good eats with a fine smoothrifle ;D

Hi Pat, I like your rig. Who made your horn and bag?
-
The horn is by Tim Crosby. I picked it up in Lexington at the show last summer.
He had so many nice horns, I had a hard time picking out a special one.
They all looked special.
The bag is by Leatherman. It looks better with some age on it
and once the leather is allowed to take it's natural shape.

Heelerou - you have wild hogs by the drove (in some places). A young one should be V-good eating indeed.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. My itch to touch off some powder in the woods this fall has been kindled...

These are on Private land within the primitive weapons area of the Daniel Boone National Forest.
The buck shot last year was an honest 60 yards. maybe a tad farther.
The doe was shot at 35 yards. Which is a proper distance to shoot a deer.
I think the 60 yard shot would be my farthest shot I have made on a deer.

Daryl, you are right, plain for got about the pigs, my brother inlaw has a bunch of them in heavy scrub on his farm, have been meaning to have a go. He hunts them with dogs and knife, I am to fat and slow to do that ! ;D

I know of one lad who hunts those hogs in Australia with a knife (big one) and his dogs. One of the dog's names is George. His 'handle' is "fatboy". Neil is his first name, I think??????

In Kentucky you can shoot ONE buck and ONE buck only per season.
Nobody said anything to me, but it is a dam big doe. and the original
picture I posted did not show the head. I thought it showed the gun better.
I did not shoot a small buck and try to claim it as a doe.
NOBODY made any accusations BUT.
Crazy stuff happens on the internet so with that in mind. Lets clear this up.

Congrats on the hunt. Heaven is a flintlock in the fall.
-
Good size doe, Pat. Well done. NICE rifle!
-
In Kentucky you can shoot ONE buck and ONE buck only per season.
You should come down to Mississippi some time. The deer are generally not as large, but you can shoot one buck and one doe per day, up to five in a year. The first season is archery and opens at the first of Oct and there is some type of season open until the middle of Feb.

Nice deer. Good job!
-
Nicely done Pat, congratulations. That is a nice fat doe that will make some fine groceries. Nice looking rifle with outstanding grain........robin ;)

Backstraps...yum

Nice gun! Nice deer! Flintlocks & deer....only way to go ;)
