I’m a Yankee, living in the Los Angeles area (Pasadena), and raised in NYC. I have stalked Red Stag in Scotland several times, but I hunt in the United States more regularly. I have hunted Whitetail Deer, Mule Deer, Javelina, feral pigs/wild boar, Ducks and Upland Birds. I have yet to hunt Pronghorn Antelope or Elk, but hope to before long.

I hunt with archery (both compound and traditional bows), rifles, shotguns and flintlock rifles and fowlers. I’m not going to list every firearm I have, but among the hunting ones I have are: a GA Precision .308, a Caesar Guerini 12 GA O/U, a Rizzini .20 GA O/U, a Winchester Model 1894 .30-30, four .50 flintlock muzzzleloader rifles (3 of which I built), one .54 flintlock muzzleloader rifle and a .69 Flintlock muzzleloader Fowler.

I last stalked Red Stags in Blair Atthol and Applecross in 2019, and hope to get back again perhaps next year.

Thank you for allowing me to join your forum and community!

Best,

Welcome from kent ! Any pics of self built flintlocks ? 😁
Yes, a couple, but I’m having trouble posting pics. I think I need to make 5 posts before I can upload a photo. So far I have built from kits. My first was a Jim Kibler .50 Colonial Rifle with a fancy grade Maple Stock. After that, I built a less expensive (and lower quality) kit with a shorter barrel that would facilitate hunting deer in thicker wooded areas of the US, like Pennsylvania. That kit was a Traditions .50 Prairie Hawken. I also built a Pedersoli .50 Kentucky Pistol.

I have a Pedersoli .50 Scout Carbine kit that I will probably build this Spring, and I think that will be my last kit, as I’d like to build a custom rifle in which I spec everything and make the stock from scratch, inletting everything by hand.

I’ll try to make a few more posts and come back to post pics of some flintlocks.
