A week or so back I killed this old doe with my 54 calibre Virginia style flintlock.

Tom, nice hunt! It's great to see people havesting animals with the flintlocks. I have a custom .58 that Roy Stroh and I made recently. Your rifle appears to be a high end custom along with the horn and bag, thats a really nice outfit! If you don't mind me asking who were the makers of those items? David.

Cohoota,
My good friend Mike Miller of Paducah, KY made the rifle and horn and the bag is my feeble attempt at making something from the 18th century.  Mike can do anything, he is simply awesome and thanks for the kinds words all.
