I picked this up today, ordered it about 6 days ago from a gunshop. It is a firestick gun, 50 caliber. I traded my flintlock with some coins out for it. I haven't used my flintlock in years, no longer want to hunt the cold weather in january, With this new gun I can hunt the early PA muzzleloader season. I am anxious to get to the range and sight it in. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/CMDRH0qw/20240102_154707.jpg)

What's this cold weather in January you speak of? I'm still spraying my clothes with permethrin to keep the ticks at bay. Flintlock season has become mild

Odd - PA wouldn't let you use a more primitive weapon in early season. Makes no sense.

The flintlock season is longer but the weather is usually cold and snowy. I will be 77 in 2 days, I have done my time in miserable weather so I wanted to, do something different in better weather.

Ahh - I was reading it as you needed the inline to hunt the early muzzleloader, flints not legal.
