THIS is Elk Hunting! FLINTLOCK Catch and Cook

I love bow hunting elk. But as hard as I try, I can't always notch my elk tag during the September archery season. Luckily I've got the option to get back in the mountains in November for a late season muzzleloader cow hunt. I like bugling bulls as much as the next guy but THIS is elk hunting! The country is big and the elk, plenty. The problem is getting within flintlock range of these big herds without being spotted. Let's see if we can put together a little elk hunting catch and cook! In this video I'm hunting with my old 50cal Kentucky rifle. I built this one sometime in my early 20s. We're hot tent camping in my buddies wall tent with a wood stove. That thing sure makes cold weather winter camping much more enjoyable.
