Ky muzzleloader season we had primitive camp/hunt on my farm. We had great time and managed to harvest a flintlock deer.

Look like loads of fun. Wish we could camp like that down here without the mosquitos carrying us away.

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

Did you ever know a Shawnee Indian named Opah from Georgetown, KY?  He used to do the Blue Lick reenactment, died about 10 years ago.  Used to trek in Red River Gorge a lot.  Just wondering, looks like a good time, nice shot on the deer! dpg

Linen, fustian, wool, braintan and felt. Nary a lick of scentlock Gore-tex or neoprene whatsis.  I'd feel right at home in that camp. 

Copper kettles and tin cups, horn spoons and the back of a knife.  Dinner seasoned with a bit of salt and woodsmoke.  My appetite would feel right at home, too.

Hard ground, a rock in my lumbar region, another under my hip, and a slight drip from my canvas diamond fly tent leaking down the back of my neck.  Yup, it's a homey kinda place.

Linen patch, last year's deer fat for lube, roundball with the sprue sticking up, and a new rock in the lock. Perty Girl's stock is fixed and the lock is tuned, she's ready for camp too.

This thread lit a fire under my keister.  I am making camp this weekend.  If all goes well I will post my own thread instead of hijacking one from these fine fellows.
