tommynauwVideo: Big Red Stag with 10 bore, .79 Caliber Jaeger flintlock
Nice video documenting a hunt for Red Stag in New Zealand with a flintlock rifle. The rifle is only 3 years old, made by Gene Gordner of Kilimanjaro Rifles.
Pretty impressive shooting, but I think the guiding is what really stands out. Lots of guides can get you close enough to take a shot with a 300WinMag, but try getting within range of a 10 bore lead ball.

Bill/OregonTommy, thanks for that link. Great hunt, great guiding, great 10-bore flinter and the hunter has a nice voice, too. Very lovely film.

calgarychef1I could have done without the whooping and hollering other than that it's a great video with some good tips and tricks about gear.
