You've NEVER Seen a Pheasant Hunt like THIS! FLINTLOCK Hunting!

With the fall hunting season in full swing, the boys and I head to South Dakota for the 2025 Pheasant Hunting opener. But just because I like to do things a little different, I'll be hunting with my smoothbore Flintlock Fowler. Hitting a pheasant in flight is tough enough with a modern shotgun, but hitting one while flintlock hunting takes it to another level. The flintlock's ignition is a bit slow which makes wing shooting tough. Follow through becomes even more critical. But despite the primitive weapons, we manage to bring home quite a few roosters. In addition to the muzzleloader hunting, Coye is hunting with an antique LC Smith double barrel shotgun that belonged to his great Grandfather! This was a fun hunting trip and a upland bird hunting video as well!
