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.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

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.
