    What a great video Sir!! I grew up in Forest County (Tionesta), and did a lot of hunting and fishing! My first deer season was late flintlock! My father purchased a Thompson Center Hawken kit and we built it together in our basement. A few years later he gave me a Renegade kit for my birthday!! Lots of great memories!

    John, this is just one of the most beautiful videos on primitive trekking and hunting. Some of these scenes wouldn't have looked at all out of place in The Revenant.

    • @flightparamedic505

      CageKicker... No, flintlock rifles were around much earlier than the 1820’s. Percussion style actions were developed however roughly in the 1820’s timeframe. The rifle he is using for this hunt is most definitely a flintlock and not percussion.

As this portrayal would have been an every day thing at one time, was impressed with how the longhunter returned, to "his" sheltered "fire spot" to relax and warm his self! Loved the blanket shawl/ coat that kept him warm and his powder dry! Did you pass on the nice buck so he could grow?? Thank you! My only regret is that I won't live long enough to see you hit your peak at huntin and filmin in 15 to 20 years Sir! Very impressive John. Bless you and yours..... Old John

      Thanks! This was the last flintlock video or deer hunt video of the season I think. Hope to make at least one per season.

    Beautiful video !! i love this kind of hunting. the good old way of hunting. hunting with a flintlock or a bow is more real.
