I'm going late flintlock for the first time ever. It starts the day after Christmas and runs till the middle of January in PA. You can take any deer but a buck only if you didn't already take one that year. If you took a buck then you need a doe tag and can only hunt does. I hope to get a couple days of good hunting in before hanging it up for the year. Flintlock is something I always wanted to do. I am excited because all my other hunting this year was a bust. I missed out on our trip to camp this year. My boy got sick opening morning and I had to stay at camp and nurse him for two days. I guess it is my own fault cause I missed a nice 10 point in archery.
