Anybody know why they did away with harvesting doe's with the Flintlock on Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge?

I guess since they scaled it back to one doe a day for that part of the state the thought must have been that too many does were being killed. Cutting out does with flintlocks might follow that trend I guess.

I just noticed it this year.

Don't know about up there but they are only allowing one doe if you get a either sex tag at oakamulgee this year.

are inline muzzleloaders considered flintlock?

Do they use flint with a lock on the side?

Lol

Robert14, they aren't. Flintlocks are more primitive and not near as reliable and do not typically have the same range. I killed my first black powder buck on Wheeler last year with a Lyman Great Plains Hunter Flintlock in 54. caliber. It is really satisfying!!

Only if they are inline flintlocks like this one from 1738:
