Two friends drew elk tags last year here in the Black Hills. I helped one track his elk for three days before we got it loaded. The other guy needed my help (along with three other guys) to drag his elk a quarter mile to the truck.
Apparently the Gods of the Hunt have found my heart to be pure and my intentions honorable because I just drew an elk tag for this fall. A good friend is putting the finishing carving to a fine flintlock that I have plans for using. wish me luck.

Aren't flintlock the single shot pistols used by pirates navy and militia/army of old? ???

Flintlock is a generic name for any muzzleloading gun (long gun or sidearm, or even ship's guns/cannons) that are ignited using a silaceous stone to strike a hardened steel plate creating a shower of sparks falling into a priming pan of fine powder, thus igniting the main charge of powder.
My flintlock was a kit from Tennessee Valley Manufacturing, 50 cal, early Lancaster style, swamped Colerain barrel, round bottom button rifling, single trigger built to go off at 2 lbs 11 oz of pull. It has killed four deer already and I haven't quite gotten the finish carving on it yet! Too busy buillding bows.
On the other hand, we may have a late rut this year...and if there is a late rut, I will be out there cow chirping, bugling, and packing a handmade bow, handmade arrows, and a piece of all your spirits in my back pocket.

My father has two pistols from the old pirate era style I think he said they were made 100 to 150 years ago. But I don't remember when he said they were made though.

Good luck, and keep your powder dry! ;) We want pictures...... 8)

Just got back from the High Plains Regional Rendezvous held up above Deerfield Lake, numerous elk were sighted in the area and the spot where I camped there were elk droppings.
Now that I got this tag, I am finding out from people that have hunted elk that the cow is much harder to find and harder to hunt. Figgers!

I wish i was back in SD, i'm stationed out here in Germany now ( i was at Ellsworth for 5 1/2 years) i wish i knew of some rendezvous when i was there, when did they start JW?

Muzzleloaders of the Black Hills started in 1968, but in the last 15+ years they have not been very encouraging of new members. Wish I had known you when you were here.
