Well PA flintlock hunting was a bust with weather conditions really poor. We had rain last wednesday all day and then like many got the 1' of snow. It's always a good trip but nothing to show for our efforts. This is the first time the main charge got wet and turned to a black paste. Lots of fun cleaning.:thumbdown:

No matter what happens, a bad day hunting always beats a good day working!

AHHHHH the life of owning a sparky. Can't say I ever had that problem.:w00t::lol::lol:

ok, ok, but I have a new flintlock hunting buddy, he got hooked on just one trip and with bad weather. There must be something to it! His new rifle is a TC firestorm that is susposed to ignite pellets with 4f pan powder. He used regular black powder but it would be interesting to see if it works.

OOOOO well if you didnt go ,,,you wouldnt know what you missed..

 

[Hunting Man]

Yep, and a bad day in the woods always beats a good day at work!:w00t:

dont you use the old electrical tape trick

 

[Hunting Man]

I know that one joel, but there was so much snow coming down it went through the flash hole as moisture. This is with lock covers too. I don't like to coat the outside of the pan with things like beeswax or other products but maybe this time I should have. The conditions were bad. We didn't even hunt last wednesday due to rain all day.

 

[joel the signman]

well at least you tried most would have given up and stayed home:thumbup:

 

[Buckshot]

Well you never know about the weather. Sometimes its a washout but other times the weatherman calls for bad weather and it turns out to be the best hunting all season. One things for sure you can't kill a deer sitting on the couch.

Or hunting with a barrel full of muck! ROTFLMAO! Sorry HM, I'm just funning with you. :w00t:
