Can I LIMIT OUT on Pheasants with a FLINTLOCK?

Opening day of pheasant hunting brings high anticipation as we gather in the field for a productive start to the season. This year I'm hunting with my new 16 gauge Flintlock Fowler from Jim Kibler. I recently put this flintlock kit together and it looks and shoots great. There is a unique energy in the air when the group meets for breakfast before heading out for the first hunt of the season. With bird numbers looking promising this year, the focus is on the dogs as they work the cover on the scent of roosters. We cover the essential steps of readying gear and assessing the hunting environment to ensure we are set for a successful day in the field. This footage captures the raw reality of hunting with a flintlock shotgun, from the initial morning preparations to the anticipation of walking the cover. Whether you are prepping for your own upland bird hunt or just enjoy the atmosphere of a traditional field day, this look at our opening day routines offers a glimpse into how we approach the season.
