RE: First Flintlock deer.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! There is no feeling like the first harvest no matter what it is. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> I can still remember my first deer, doe, buck, and the first of each with each different weapon I used. You can't explain the feeling; you have to live it, to understand. That's why those that do not hunt will never understand it. And, they are the ones I feel sorry for. Again, Congrats.
