any one where have any experience with flintlock muzzle loaders?

thinking about getting one for fun/ maybe some hunting with it. (more just to shoot for fun) but am looking at a classic one (you know the ones of the fur trade/ days of first settlement) replica, they look so fun to shoot.

How tall is that? What you using it for?

It is about 10 feet tall. I planned to use it for my guineas but i might put chickens in it instead. I may like it so much i will make another one for a greenhouse!

I shot my .308 Savage Rifle for the first time today, after hubby sighted it in. I got a bullseye on my second shot! Not too bad for a 60 year old woman, fist time with a rifle.

well, going to due an update here on my latest project,

went to the local farm store and bought a book on sausage making, (from story's guides) well then my parents also got a meat smoker/grill, to smoke meat with. so we fired it up (after cooking the oils off) and smoked a pork roast and a gold eye (type of fish). and the roast turned out amazing, really good flavor.

the fish how ever turned out super salty and just tasted really bad. (it will be the last gold eye i ever smoke/keep to eat) so i have decided to stay with the usual fish i like to eat, (walleye, perch, pike, trout and burbot)

I had heard the golden eye was best smoked and a delicacy .. never had one.. I like smoked salmon

me too, Winnipeg smoked gold-eye is said to be amazing, (which is the province beside me) but i have an uncle who lives there (in Winnipeg) and had the real Winnipeg smoked gold, when i asked him he said no joke he threw up after eating a mouthful of it. this was my second or third try on smoking it and ever time it comes out super fishy and gross.
