Sir, I love your videos, and could watch them all day. I am a Virginia native, currently living in Florida. I miss Appalachia greatly. On another note, I have never seen a more beautiful rifle than your Ruger Number 1 International in 7 x 57. As soon as I saw it, I knew that I had to have one. I bought a beautiful 20 year old specimen, in very nearly new condition in 7 x 57. She is gorgeous. Thank you for making me homesick for my beloved Virginia.
@@erikortega7344 First of all, Howdy fellow Virginian. Thanks for sharing that heart felt story. You are going to love that little 7x57. Glad you found one. I bought mine as soon as Ruger came out with it.
Mr. Pritchard I really enjoyed your video brother. I’m a deer hunter and I like your set up brother. I live in a small town of😢😢 Waynesville Ga. I hunt in Hazlehurst Ga about a hour and a half from where I live. Hazlehurst is all farm land and the deer have plenty to eat. I’m 53 now and I’m like you I don’t mind at all watching deer and don’t mind not shooting a deer on a rainy or real cold day. That was one beautiful Pieball buck you showed on your channel brother keep up the good videos.
Love watching your videos from Richmond VA. I shot a piebald doe hunting in the Pocono Mountains in PA after Thanksgiving. 1st 1 I ever seen in the wild!
Solunar tables have been a great prognosticator of animal movement. A friend told me that even his PH in Argentina had a chart!! Enjoy your work!! Had a “splash” pattern whitetail in our backyard for several years. Love the Rugers!
I have several barrels for the Encore-Contender. All are incredibly accurate. Mind boggling accurate. I know the frustration of not seeing as well as we would like. But I learned, by actually shooting, that in-spite of less than perfect vision, I could still shoot surprisingly well. Keep shooting until you gain the confidence needed. I zero my flintlocks to shoot 2 inches high at 60 yards. That is about the maximum distance that I am likely to get a shot in our woods. That puts me about dead on at 100. I can shoot to 125 without compensating. But conditions would have to be nearly ideal before I would shoot at game that far. Target shooting is a different matter. I love to shoot long range, 300 + yards with my flintlock.
I enjoy your videos. I love ruger #1's and 7x57. What solar chart app do you use? I have mixed thoughts on using one. Mayb it's time I downloaded one. Keep it up.
Your vids - to me - feel as tho you and I are just sitting in the Quigley, chatting as we wait to see a deer. Perhaps, some time you can tell me about your life's story. What have you done, where did you come up from. Id also like a good inside view of your shooting house - The Quigley. Where did that name come from? My son has bought some 18 acres that is 3 hours south west of me ( So West Alabama). So, i am planning on a very nice shooting house named - you guessed it. I would also like to know about your Camo - and Hat.
in my experience ive notice all animals seem to be more spooky in high wind. esp. if its swirling which im sure it is in them hills you hunt. i have a piebald on my wall. it was a 3 point as well. i used the cape to mount a big 8 pt id killed several years earlier. mine is no near as white as that one.
If I am still hunting my way through the woods, I love high winds. But I am not waiting for them to come to me. I am going to them. High winds scatter the scent, making it hard for them to locate me. It also covers your sound. And every thing is blowing here and there which masks your movements. But it is a different story when sitting watching a field for sure.
I got the pi spencer site. Has a elevation screw. I'm site gun in 25 yds. Got long screw to replace after 25 yds. Cut it to bottom of peep site for max rear height. Think I can set it for 100,crank up for 150. Count turns
I'm need a little help, got a lgp rifle cap lock. Joined canal Fulton ram rod club year. To learn. Thompson 10 inch encore 2 power Leopold scope sited 50 to 250 yds 3 inch circle held every thing inside. 22250 3 rnds same hole 250 yds. The buck horn gpr came with were junk. Move. 1/8 left right. I shoot 3f, weight, volume same, weigh 490 rd ball. I pour 172 grain. I'm a hunter but I set gun up as perfect as possible. Only perfect shots made by Quigley. Are you sited for 150. Flintlock sir. I don't give up. Lost my confidence because had get glasses. Sites, I will go to elders for help. Shot ground hog throat that 454 max out. 375 yds, bullet didn't exit. My son witnessed the shot. He's still alive confirm 😊
Sir, I answered your comment but good ole UA-cam listed it as a comment rather than a reply. Look through the comments and it will be obvious which one is directed towards you. Sorry for that.
@@patnoble1914 I certainly would not have passed. I am 81 years old and have never even laid eyes on such a rare trophy. Big bucks are pretty much everywhere. I have encountered literally dozens of them. But not bucks like that one.
@@dennispritchardoutdoors7882 At 81 and still hunting you deserve to take any deer you want. Congratulations and I hope when your 100 your still chasing them. Good Luck. I am 70 by the way and I have only seen 1 piebald doe.

Howdy! Great video that was a beautiful piebald white tail your buddy got. I hunt deer flintlock & longbow love it.

You don't have to question your intelligence Dennis it's just one thing you're a true Hunter brother
@@jodyferguson3068 I still wonder about me sometimes!!!!
I found it, thank you.. that give me the direction i understand. And 2 inches at 60 yds
Looks like your hunting in down town London with the fog.
Maybe you’ve entered the twilight zone 🤣
You know what? You might be right!! Thanks for filling me in!

Do you practice shooting from Quigley?
Yes Sir! I surely do.
My 4570, and 454, were both 2 inches high at 50 yds, so im inball park. Of ballistic i understand to
@@roberttolley5055 I think that is a good zero.
As always enjoyed the video. How big is the Quigley? Hope that back is feeling better.
The Quigley is 8x8x8 feet. And the floor is 7 feet off of the ground.
I hate sitting still. That gives me plenty of room to walk around.

Good sir, a question if you please. What apps do you use for the solar times?
