Our late season ends in this area of PA on 1/28. I've got a few doe tags yet, but only wanted to take one more. This past Wed I got it done with the flintlock...nice mature doe that'll convert just fine into bologna, dried beef, sausage, and snack sticks. Well, except for the tenderloins (already cooked and eaten!) and the back straps. Those do NOT get ground or processed! So, my deer season is over now. That was the third one for the year, and that's how many I use in a year (3 kids at home, we mow through venison fairly quickly). Time to get some vengeance on the tree rats for annoying me all season! Hope you all had great hunts this year!

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

thanks!
Had the tenderloins the other night for dinner and the leftovers with eggs and taters this morning for breakfast. That was pretty darn good......

That's an early Reading/Christian Springs style rifle with a 46" Hoyt barrel in 62 caliber with a Davis lock. It was made by Allen Martin.

Looks like a dandy! We used to live in NE Pa in the 70's and have good memories of flinter hunts after Christmas. Thanks, Bruce
