Thank you John, awesome video, footage and harvest!

Thank You Brother

Dude you, bring back some trapping videos.

[@sammyclark2520]

Did you hit that fist doe?

[@ryanbarrows4355]

I gotta say man, I've been watching this channel since 2011 and we are about the same age 34. I admire how you have stuck with it making videos this long. I've tried and I know how hard it is in the northeast to get a deer let alone get it on camera. Nice job! 👍

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks Ryan! Its going to get a whole lot tougher for me. My wife is due with our first on Christmas day. Taking being busy to film to a whole new level haha.

[@steelerspride53]

Perfectly said. 34 also. Couldn’t agree more

[@steelerspride53]

And congrats on the coming of the new addition!!

[@Nick1-22]

Right now I’m reading a book about the civil war and thought it would be cool to see if someone went hunting with any and I found your channel like a few days ago and watched the 2017 and the 2018 hunt. Awesome content yet again, it’s so cool to see someone using something that played a huge roll in America’s history.

[@grantgoff10sc8]

Most people don’t know how hard it is to sneak up on deer with a scoped bolt action rifle. Much less a flintlock. This was awesome. Love your videos brother. Also love how you acknowledge the Lord and all His blessings.

[@sethwaggoner6497]

I greatly appreciate a hunter who has the patience and desire to hunt purely TRADITIONALLY. It isn't easy, but it is extremely rewarding! Congrats to you, sir! As a native Pennsylvania, I appreciate the spectacular scenery on your videos as well as that gorgeous flintlock.

[@firetoweroutdoors]

That was awesome. My heart sank along with yours when the gun misfired. Keep up the good work, it's nice to see local success.

[@ernestclements7398]

When trying to get within range of a critter regardless of choice of arm don't stand up straight and walk directly towards it bend over to resemble a four legged critter and meander towards it stopping to make it look like you are nibbling on brush, keep your arm low and out of sight as much as possible and stalk into the wind, you'll be amazed at how close you can get my grandfather learned this trick from the Chippewa kids he grew up with on the UP of Michigan, and taught it to me

[@paulmcdonald9901]

John, you are an excellent cinematographer, fine outdoorsman, and exemplary hunter. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You inspire the best in me. Congratulations on your early season doe. Our early season primitive firearm starts the 9th. I hope to do as well. May the Lord continue to bless you and yours! Flintlocks Forever,

[@mglangley56]

As always a joy to watch one of your videos John. You put such time and care into each one. Great job as always. Love to see you use old firearms with history to them.

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@coryprice3576]

This is easily the best hunting channel on KZbin. No doubt. I love this channel

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks Cory!

[@Sigibrand]

Great to see sir. I am also glad to see that in the time of PETA that your dislikes are pretty minimal! I feel most people feel this is more sporting than the modern hunting that takes place, more equal opportunity.

[@blazerwilliams2260]

I feel it is. I honestly wish they would make it mandatory to hunt big game with recurve or long bow and black powder only. Too many people out there dropping deer from 300 yards away with a huge rifle with a scope on it, I don't care who you are that doesn't require an ounce of skill and to think people actually brag about killing an animal that way. And you know what I hate is when people hunt black powder season with their inline rifles. A black powder rifle should not have a scope.

[@8626John]

Excellent video! Those smoothies are sweet and surprisingly accurate.

[@steinderbush]

Thanks for the great video, and all the best to you!! from the Netherlands

[@stlllearning5800]

By golly John, its great to see you again kicking off the 2020 deer season! A most excellent posting and many thanks from a dedicated fan over in Portage County, OH. Broadcasting the shares to my camp, to be sure. Best of everything to the entire LWO gang !

[@jerryroesener5937]

You do an awesome job. Very real hunting experience. Big credit to you for filming and hunting on your own. Again awesome

[@Bozo1360]

I was thinking, "both lungs", considering how fast that deer was down. Amazing firearm. I can no longer hunt but I sure enjoyed the sound of the breeze on the leaves and the way the sunlight shone through the trees.

[@anthonygiordano6265]

And the crowd chanted we want Ron , we want Ron !!!

[@richdeerhunter]

Congrats, John......that's a fine looking doe and as always - a fine piece of cinematography with solid editing. Looking forward to more videos coming up for our PA gun season. With a little luck - maybe some archery during the rut....hint hint??

I use a 45 cal caplock. Got a shot off a a doe but it was a poke at 100 yards and I did the same thing. Aimed high and shot over her. Now I am on the hunt for a flintlock so I can hunt doth seasons. May my luck will change in the second season.

Sadly, deer see well in the ultra violet spectrum and blaze orange shows up like a search light in UV. If someone has access go what's called a "Black Light" they can check out their blaze orange clothing to see if it fluoresces. FWIW

How do you take out a bullet in the muzzleloader without shooting it

No Flintlock late season footage?

Where did you find your bag?

[@mikeharryhunt1709]

Hey John, u still using theM STEELHEADS with your bow? Im using the last ones they made( the silver trophy ridge ones) before they discontinued them. I also picked up some of the black old school rocket 125's and 100s. The older ones are for sure better quality but I have to figure out how to touch up the blades before I will ever use them on an animal. So I was just curious how your experience has been with the steelheads. U get mostly pass throughs? And how have your blood trails been?

That's what I love about hunting I just shot my first deer with a bow at 13 and it was a 12 point buck in Indiana on public land. It wayed about 175 pounds. And I shot it through the shoulder with muzzy brodheads and right through both lungs comprising them and out the other for my first deer with my bow and first monster buck. This was on Saturday, and it was at 22 yards with a 55 pound bow going through both shoulders and lungs. Ps I love your channel bro.
