There's no greater satisfaction than when everything goes right and you take that deer with the old Flintlock.

[@bobboyer9440]

One of the best flintlock hunting videos on KZbin. Congratulations on a fine production and a successful hunt. I only wish I could live in Pennsylvanian. In this short video you saw more deer in the wild than I see in two years. By the time our black powder season opens all the deer go nocturnal.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks for your kind words Bob. We have found if you can find a food source it draws deer from all over. This can be a blessing and a curse. If you can't find the food source you don't see any deer. If you find the food sources you find a lot of deer.

[@Bowhuntrut]

Nice job. Pa Flintlock season is becoming my favorite time of the year to deer hunt

[@SufferingOutdoors]

PointerDogFan yeah we’ve noticed a lot more guys are starting to get into it. The challenge and solitude is very rewarding.

[@r-n-jhomesteadlife4800]

Congrats! Love the late season.

[@donovanstockton7081]

That is one of the best videos I’ve seen in awhile. I got a Lyman .50 Deerstalker for Xmas and went to the range like 10 times to get used to flintlocks. Got out twice to hunt. Learned the hard way that hunting from elevated means your powder will run off if your rifle is positioned vertically. Had one doe walk by and my shot didn’t go off. After fixing that I got another opportunity and missed. Was hunting from a saddle and was completely free hand positioned for that shot an And missed. Came away anyway hooked on flintlocks!!! Guys at Lancaster archery told me they are fun and that’s no joke. I wish more people would use them. Part of a great tradition.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

They are a lot of fun. I'm glad you got into it. The more experience you have with your gun the more you will learn tricks to get it to perform properly.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Congrats!! Great job self-filming and putting the flintlock to work!!

[@danielfetchak1865]

Thank you. I'll be out there.

[@OutdoorswithVic]

Awesome video in a week itll be my first time goin out with the flintlock hopefully it snows for flintlock season!

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Good luck! Snow helps figure out late season movement and also adds to the flintlock experience.

[@JamieMG]

That was pretty awesome! Some good eat'n right there! I'm sure you enjoyed every bite. Thanks for sharing!!

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! The venison was very much enjoyed. Starting to fill the freezer again for 2020. Good luck this year.

[@michaelrihel9584]

Man, to get two after rifle season is awesome!!!! Cant wait to hunt here next week using the flintlock. Great video

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! I'm getting excited too, a lot of snow might make it challenging this year. Good luck!

[@birddogbriar4335]

Another well shot well produced video. Awsome!

Congratulations on your harvest that is pretty cool getting those deer with your flintlock. Hope all is well with you and have a great day.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Have a great day as well!

[@Schnot]

Really well done video. I got lucky enough to just get a buck up there in 2G. We have a hunting cabin up there near Cammal on the top near SGL 75. It was my first time hunting up there for deer. That big woods hunting is a whole new challenge compared to what I'm used to down here in Schuylkill county.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

I’m not far from there, congratulations on your public ground buck! Definitely tough to do!

[@eco-beehive]

Great production. Well done guys

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Much appreciated!

[@pawoodsnwater7551]

Great video and congratulations! Boy, you sure made the most outta your deer season, I’m an early season archery guy, weird how I can tolerate fishing all day in super cold conditions but when I’m hunting I have a limit, admire your perseverance. Thanks for sharing.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Sitting still in a stand does get really cold. When your fishing your moving. Thanks for watching!

Great job! Way to stick with the shot!

Hey Man.....just found your channel and I dig it! Great work on the videos/transitions.....all around quality stuff. Fellow PA hunter here in Delaware County. I'll be checking out the rest of your videos. Best of luck to you.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Good luck to you as well!

I love your videos and I always look forward to your next one. Can’t wait! 🙌🏼

[@Afro408]

Good hunt there and I LOVE your priming flask man! :D

Thank you, my father-in-law makes them. I might have to do a video on how he carves them.

[@Afro408]

@@SufferingOutdoors That would be much appreciated by a lot of viewers, I should think.

[@MrJasinski101]

Congrats. thats a great Pa late season, I was able to fill one tag here in PA as well with a flintlock and chose to wait for a buck but ended up eating the tag.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Kenneth Jasinski yeah I was in the same boat besides I had a DMAP tag I used for the first doe. I still had my buck tag and passed on some doe the last day hoping for a buck.

[@backcountrydiggers6347]

Subscribed way to use up those tags good shooting.

[@phergoph]

Good shooting! Down in 5C we just got warm rain almost the entire season. It was literally a wash.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Yeah that's not good flintlock weather!

[@danielfetchak1865]

Awesome video thanks for sharing!

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Good luck if you make it out flintlock hunting this year!

[@dualthreatoutdoors]

Nice job man! Very few trucks were in the parking lots during late season

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Yeah, I only hunted on weekends and was surprised how few guys were up there this year. There were more last year. Thanks for watching!

[@hoytboysoutdoors8533]

Congrats!

[@crogsontherunrich329]

Super nice video always try to save my doe tag for flintlock ,no one ever out and only time mostly u can hunt in snow in Beaver county

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks for watching Rich, saved tags for the flintlock season is a must!

[@bowhunterdave]

awesome videos brother!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for sharing

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thank you for watching!

[@Thomas_Crowfoot]

Brother, if you think PA winters will make you tough, try hunting North Dakota. Opening day of muzzleloader season is usually well below zero. A balmy -26⁰ it was this year on opening day.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Haha no thank you, I’ll just pretend I’m tough hunting in the teens here.

[@waylonlegend4603]

Why isn’t there flintlock season before rifle season. I’m aware there is a week that you can harvest a doe but I’ve been using flintlock long rifle ever since my father passed in 86.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

I agree this should be a thing! I would also love to see a two week traditional archery season before regular archery opens. Know anyone we can write to?

[@RogerGuyer-j9i]

Well earned deer good. job

[@Seadragonhorse866]

Awesome video bud

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thank you Brad, and thanks for watching!

[@lets_fish_already_9345]

As someone who hunts with traditional muzzleloaders theres no worse feeling then when the hammer strikes and the gun doesn't go off the first time.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Haha yeah. I was lucky it was windy and she didn’t hear me. Usually doesn’t end like that when it happens.

[@Pualleng]

Mon of my favorite gun

[@437AlBig]

Nice video. Was just wondering what the weight you put in the bag was for?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks! I carry a lot of weight so I walk up my hill with 40 lbs just to stay in shape.

[@traviscoates6878]

Where’s the powder? Impossible to find for 2021. Need to make my own

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Goex going under doesn't help. Where are you at? I just found some in north central pa.

[@craigcook1571]

I wonder if the people back in 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries had as much problem with ignition as we do now?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

That is a good thought. I did a quick search and found mention that British Troops on average had 1 misfire out of 6.

Thank you. It is a 50 cal Traditions and I'm shooting 80 grains of 3F.

what kind of camera do you use ? the quality is crisp and clear.

It is a Sony AX-53. It's a great all around camera. If you want to check it out, I have a link in the description. Thanks for watching.

[@MVCompassRose]

Awesome video! Do you use just a patched round ball? Or something else?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Yep, just a patch and round ball. Thanks for watching. The seasons will be here soon! Good luck this year!

[@charlesbowman8125]

Awesome what brand is your flintlock? What caliber is it?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

It is a traditions 50 cal a lot of people give traditions a hard time for not making a quality product but I do like it. Very light weight and accurate.

[@muttomaki1]

What are you using now that goex is gone?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

I have a full pound of 4f goex left but just bought a pound of 3f schuetzen black powder and it is working very well.

[@Schnot]

Why didn't you pack out the second one like you did the first?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

The doe was a little smaller and we had a pretty big storm coming in so we just wanted to get it out.

[@dennisnoone7427]

Nice, what are you shooting,? I last a doe this past season, seems like patch ball doesn’t always exit

[@SufferingOutdoors]

I'm shooting round ball but it can be tough to find blood. We also use power belts and that is a different story.

[@dennisnoone7427]

@@SufferingOutdoors would power belts work in 1-66" twist?

@@dennisnoone7427 Not sure, you can try it and see how it groups.

[@ppha7665]

Harvesting any deer with a flintlock and round balls is so rewarding! I was more happy shooting a small doe with my flintlock then my 8 point during the rifle season!

[@SufferingOutdoors]

It is rewarding! Even the venison tastes a little sweeter.

[@870Slager]

What kind of Flintlock would you recommend?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

I have a traditions 50 cal, its ok but looking at Lyman Deerstalkers which I"ve heard good things about. Or a Thompson White Mountain if you can find them. They don't make them anymore.

[@pensnut08]

Nice... Makes me miss PA.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

PA is a great state. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmcghee6518]

what bullet did you use

[@SufferingOutdoors]

I shoot 50 cal round balls. Some of our group shoot the power belts.

Nice job. You was back in a little. Nice low pressure area. Good shooting. What county?? I also hunt PA.

Yeah, on the second one I was back further than I like. I am hunting in Lycoming County. Found a good food source shed hunting last year and it was good again this year.

What’s your late season food source? , looks like you enjoy hunting the scattered laurel also when the late season arrives.

[@MrLupold]

sad no more Goex!

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Yeah that is! I hadn’t heard about that until your comment. Better stock up!

[@timberwolf27]

hey does flintlock hunting lead to more bad shots, so when eating causes bad taste due to stressed meat. Am a hunter, but never done deer and wondered how much that matters?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Good question, I would say it depends. It is definitely a more difficult weapon to use. I think it depends on the shooter. We as hunters need to know our effective range and not push it if the animal is out of range. Or if we have a low probability shot. The deer I killed with the flintlock expired quickly. If you hit them in the lungs or heart they will be done quick.

[@timberwolf27]

@@SufferingOutdoors Thanks for the info! Can you tell between stressed meant though?

[@SufferingOutdoors]

W L I have not noticed a difference in taste from a flintlock or rifle harvest.

[@wildwesthunt17]

Класс!!!!👍👍👍

[@blaws6684]

I’m just above the pa line. And love your late season. Our idiots in Albany decided only NYShitty people deserved a late hunt not the rest of us I’m wondering why the PGC still insists on making you use the least accurate and effective firearm available. The amount of deer wounded and lost is significant

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Sorry to hear you lost your late season. I like the challenge of a flintlock and feel if you know your limits you can eliminate wounding deer. I treat my flintlock like a bow and set up close to where I think deer will travel and pass if I don’t have a good shot.

[@blaws6684]

@@SufferingOutdoors you’re ethical. It’s evident by your actions on video. I too enjoy the challenge of primitives and like you try to do the best I can with them. But there are many who aren’t as concerned. To them the hunt is just something to do, not part of their life. They just poke and hope. At least with a cap rifle their results will improve.

[@natemiller448]

Traditions makes a terrible flintlock. This is not new news.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

I am actually looking into getting a new one. What do you use and recommend? It’s gotten the job done but am starting to see it had its flaws.

[@royalcorn8120]

I don't know who taught you muzzle loading ,you never put powder,from the can ,get a measure orload tube.

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Thanks for watching Roy. I poured from the can into the powder measurer then into the muzzle. Should I be doing something different? Maybe it looked like I didn't measure and just dumped from the can into the muzzle?

[@daggerg8451]

Learn how to run a flintlock before you use it omg

[@SufferingOutdoors]

Your comment would have been more helpful to myself and others had you used an example of improper use and an explanation of proper use.
