Flintlock season in Pennsylvania is a treasured time of year - Outdoornews

Deer hunting in winter conditions with a replica of a 'long-ago' hunting tool is about as challenging as it gets.

Sounds like a fun season

When I lived in Pennsylvania (1969 - 74) I never participated, way too cold and miserable weather. My brother and his brother in-law usually went out every year and had minimal success. There were a number of times a deer was in range, however, the flintlock didn't go boom.

Love it. Cold weather never bothered me.

Couple deer I killed over the years there.

Biggest flintlock buck. When I shot him, it was 5 degrees outside with a 25 MPH wind.


One of the biggest does I ever killed.

Stalked up on this deer in a standing corn field.

This one came from a deer drive.

Yall would like the WV Mountaineer Heritage season then, longbow, recurve, side lock muzzleloader rifle or shotgun for deer, bear and turkey

I think its just a matter of time before southern states start enacting similar seasons

It would be fine with me. I’m using flintlock or stick bow. But I know that will never happen. I’ll just hunt with my weapons of choice

The folks I know that participate in the hunt do it in the mountains. They put on drives and do well!

I agree with you.
