My friend Aram just shot a great elk with the 54cal flintlock I built him several years ago. Maybe a Muzzleloading record, Green scored 404 2/8 gross. I know the thrill he got from taking his elk with the flintlock longrifle is something that he will never forget I am so proud of him.

Like in the movie the mountain men Ironbelly told Bill Tyler. There is a valley that is guarded by our enemy the Black Feet. Because there are Elk There. As many as stars in the sky. LOL
Really I don't know where he got it I never asked. Some trophy area. He has been applying for 17 years and finally got drawn. We went on a totality primative hunt for Elk and Mule deer years ago up in the mountains just up from where they live in the southern part. There were no big bulls up there back then. I did get a cow and we shot some nice Deer.
