That’ll be a rifle hunt, I want to chase eastern whitetail with my flintlock. Seems easier to get tags and depending on the state should be some public land around.

What’s your friends fathers name? I don’t know them all but I’m familiar with the work of quite a few makers. I was trying to get a flintlock made by someone in the states but no one was interested in doing it for an Aussie. It’s amazing how many Americans seem to believe we can’t own guns in Australia!

That's the best way to do it! Believe it or not I drew my first year, last year, on a unit that nobody draws for I guess and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I never once saw anyone bowhunting it and had several opportunities but missed a monster like my 5th day out. Took the rifle season opening up for me to go to another canyon area and put a longer shot on a decent 3x3. I was wanting a good meat buck anyways so worked out perfectly. I put in for it again this year.

I rarely seen a whitetail in wyoming, were a few on a couple private sections was all. His name is Wayne and he's pit of Ohio. He really doesn't advertise but anyways near the ohio and Pennsylvania lines should know him if they're serious into traditional.

I hold a grudge against Austrailia, they tool one of my favorite rifle manufacturers from the state I'm in! Lol I'm still looking at buying one from them but I couldn't believe it, Barrett. Hate to say we have alot of ignorant people here but honestly you get that everywhere. Can't always believe what you read on social media lol
