favorite gun? id definently say my tc 50cal hawken flinter.....nothing like making smoke with a rock and steel.....more things to worry about in the field and its just a fun way to hunt.....unless im really hunting a buck this year(antlers are nice but i dont care i just love to hunt) im taking the flinter most days.....unless i really think a nice legal buck is going to be in my area i will probably have the flinter....even on opening day of rifle season....its just so much fun.....cant wait to smoke one with it....this is my second year...last year dad told me i shot to many does with the mauser so when flintlock season came he told me if it dont have antlers and i couldnt find someone to take the deer i couldnt shoot it.....didnt see a buck during flinter season....this year will be fun......
