any of you go all the way old school on the muzzy and mountain man thing
-
you mean flintlock, big bushy beard, coonskin cap, and buckskins head to toe, right? Not me but I know the type. Love that stuff but I'm an archery freak so I just haven't gone there...yet.

yes thats what I meant.I ve got an uncle in marion Montana that is a gun maker {old style muzzy}and hes totally into it.his guns are every where in the world..Not cheap!!!!

used to be into it pretty heavy, job demands put me out of it about 15yrs ago. One time I shot on the MN pole cutting team at the MLRA Rendezvous with my 58 cal Hawken, the 58 takes big chunks out of a log. I still have a 45 flint Half stock Mountian rifle, 54 flint full stock Southern Mountian rifle, 58 percussion Hawken, and a Beretta 300yr Anniversary Model 12ga O/U percussion shotgun that I hunt with. Still have my hand made Leathers, moccasins and camping gear.

Only in style of firearms. Now that I can carry a modern handgun, I may do that instead of packin' a cap-n-ball revolver. But then again maybe not.

My uncle still shoots an old, gold trimmed hawken 50 cal at deer. Next time Im up at his place I'll take pics of it. He told me that he used to see, elk hunting in the Teanaway, people dressed all out trad muzzloading with coon skin hats, mocs and the whole sha-bang
-
Going to try to find the skins. Not sure if the wife will sew em for me :dunno: :chuckle: I will be trying for one with a .54 round ball this year.
-
I did it for fun years back. My dad is an old school traditionalist. Coon skin cap and full leathers. I would be afraid to wear them these days. That buck skin color might get you shot.
-
Slenk on here does the flintlock thing. WAY COOL!
-
That is cool! I would be amazed to see someone totin a smokepole around dressed like that, would love to see any pics that someone is willing to share

I hunted Muzzy with a home built sidelock for 8 yrs, then the crowd got too big and I switched to archeryin the early 90's . I'll be going Muzzy this year for deer because I drew the Multi-season and the Alta B tag. Should be a decent hunt if the Wolves do kill them all off
