One last FLINTLOCK HUNT! Fall Turkey Catch & Cook

  • Опубликовано: 5 янв 2024
  • With just a few days left in the fall turkey hunting season, I grabbed the 20 gauge flintlock smoothbore, loaded up some black powder and 6 shot and hit the woods. In the fall and winter, turkeys gather in to large winter flocks which can make for an exciting hunt. But I had no idea what I was in for when I set out in the early morning. This will be the last flintlock hunting video for the 2023 season but there'll be more in 2024. Stay tuned for more catch and cook videos from the southern states this winter.

      Me too... awesome video. Just a question. The rifle you use in this video has a rifled barrel ? I'm asking because it seams the same rifle you have used in other videos hunting for elk.

    • @blaahster
      @blaahster 4 месяца назад +2

      Different gun. Remember his rifled gun has a strapped handle as it was cracking, the one in this video, is whole.

    It looks like its time to do an up close video of your flintlocks... loading, cleaning, maintenance, furniture discussion, keeping them dry, Etc...
    Then on to all the accouterments needed as well as casting buck, ball,& shot, patches, wadding, lube, & powder.

    that's the best weapon to use for hunting in a survival situation Mr.Hayes... you can make your own ammo and gunpowder... good idea to keep a few of them aside... if you need to defend yourself against armed bipods, and that's not enough, you can then use something modern... you'll have their guns and ammo anyway!...

    Congrats Clay; that's a very nice bird! I kinda wonder about that lock time though-might think about carrying a priming horn with 4F. I know it cut my lock time about in half on both my flintguns. For sure it makes loading a little bit longer, but my results were very rewarding.
